After the release of iOS 26 for Apple Watch, my Watch Series 8 started freezing or lagging a lot when opening the Control Center. It feels like the animations and effects load in pieces, very slowly. I’d really appreciate it if this could be fixed in the next update.
Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 26
Did you already force restart your watch by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
The the latest watchOS 26.1 has been installed?
If you did, and there have been no changes, let Apple Techs know directly about the issue by using the Feedback link:
