Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

Release overview

watchOS 3.2.2 was released on May 15, 2017. Apple retained only a general improvements-and-bug-fixes description for ordinary behavior, accompanied by a detailed security advisory.[1][2][3]

Evidence boundary

No named consumer feature or ordinary correction is available in Apple's version history, so this page does not invent one. Specificity is confined to the advisory's security components and impacts.[4][3]
