           watchOS 9.6.1 Fixes Bug Affecting Parkinson's Disease Apps

   Adam Engst

   Apple has released [1]watchOS 9.6.1 to fix a bug that "prevents access
   to motion data for apps that use the Movement Disorder API to track
   tremors and symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease." The release
   notes mention no other changes, nor are there any [2]security fixes
   with CVE entries. Unless you use a watchOS app that you know
   incorporates the Movement Disorder API, I can't see any reason to
   install this update until it's convenient.
