Does Apple Watch Work with iOS 14?
Contents

First, make sure that your Apple Watch is compatible with the latest software: watchOS 7 is compatible with Apple Watch Series 3 and later and Apple Watch SE. Upgrading to watchOS 7 requires an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 14 or later. Find your Apple Watch model.

Can you use watchOS 6 with iOS 14?

The Apple Watch Series 3 and later can install watchOS 7; the original, Series 1 and Series 2 all miss out. You’ll also need an iPhone running iOS 14. The Apple Watch Series 6 and SE will both come with watchOS 7 preinstalled, so you won’t need to worry about this process for those models.

Will a Series 1 Apple Watch work with iOS 14?

Apple Watch Series 1 and Series 2 are compatible with the iPhone 5 or later, running iOS 11 or later. Apple Watch Series 3 has two models, one with a cellular plan like your phone (LTE) and one without (Non-LTE). If you buy a new version of either model, you’ll need an iPhone 6s or later, running iOS 14 or later.
