According to the release notes, the update seems to be a rather modest one since it improves the system’s reliability. However, those who have already downloaded it have shed light on a crucial repair that will be brought about by the tiny update. Although it has not been publicly acknowledged, it seems that the issue known as “raise to wake” that has been causing problems for a significant number of users over the last month or so has been addressed.

Galaxy Watch5 PRO (SM-R920) Update – Fixes "Raise Wrist to Wake" bug from GalaxyWatch

Over the course of the last month, multiple Galaxy Watch 5 series and Galaxy Watch 4 series users have reported the problem, and some of them have even shared videos of their watches falling asleep after the issue has been brought to their attention. Despite the fact that the firm has never made an official statement on the issue, it would seem that it has been fixed with the most recent update. This is an excellent upgrade since the raise to wake function is useful, and for some people, vital. It brings an enhanced method to engage with the watch, while also improving the battery life of the device.

The update seems to be accessible to a significant number of users throughout the world; thus, if you have been experiencing the raise to wake issue or if you just wanted to bring things up to date, you’ll want to go into the setting menu to get things sorted out. If you would like to give it a try, go to the Watch Settings menu on your Apple Watch, then choose the Watch Software Update option from that menu.

You are able to begin the download process and get the installation procedure started if the update is currently available in your location. It is important to take notice that the update does not carry with it a new version of the security patch; rather, it maintains the same status as the version that was released one month ago. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic update, and those who were impacted will find the solution to be quite welcome.
