Oceanic+ Apple Watch App Not Working? Here's the Fix

Divers and swimmers relying on the Oceanic+ app for Apple Watch may have recently encountered issues. The app recently updated its requirements, necessitating iOS 18 and watchOS 11 or later. Unfortunately, this change wasn't clearly communicated on the App Store page, leading to unexpected disruptions for users, especially those in areas with limited connectivity. Here's how to resolve the issue:

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Update your iPhone to the latest iOS: This is crucial as older iOS versions may prevent your Apple Watch from updating correctly.
  2. Update your Apple Watch to the latest watchOS: Once your iPhone is updated, install the latest watchOS on your Apple Watch. This should resolve the issue in most cases.
  3. Update the Oceanic+ App: If the problem persists, try updating the Oceanic+ app itself, although this hasn't been necessary for most users.

If you've followed these steps and the app still isn't working, contact Oceanic directly. As a subscription-based service, they offer customer support.
