Apple has released watchOS 8.3 for all supported models Apple Watch earlier this month. THE information it was adopted with great enthusiasm due to the improvements included, but it seems that there are many who regretted it.
And all because the new update mysteriously stops third-party chargers, making it impossible for Apple Watch owners to charge their devices with anyone else charger except the one sold by Apple.
This the thread on reddit contains dozens of messages from Apple Watch owners who claim their devices have been affected. The problem does not seem to be exclusive to SmartWatch of the last generation. All models are affected and of course, there is no workaround.
Surprisingly, it seems that not all third-party chargers have been shut down since the installation of watchOS 8.3. Some users claim that their chargers, including some Belkin models, continue to function properly, while others report that charging stops after a few minutes.
Of course, Apple hasn't mentioned anything about it and the next update will probably be released in January. Until then, you can please her company but treat you better in the next update.
An internet solution states that a reboot of the Apple Watch by holding down the Digital Crown + side button until you see the Apple logo on the screen will fix the bug. You can then charge your watch. They say that the Apple Watch will charge 100% without any problems, but we have not tried it.
