Apple said that rebooting Apple Watch may temporarily solve the problem, suggesting that the problem has nothing to do with hardware. Apple said in the memo that users should keep updating to the latest version of watchOS, indicating that fixes will be released soon.
CTOnews.com has learned that the latest version of Apple Apple Watch is watchOS 9.1 developer Preview version Beta 3, and it is not clear whether this version solves the microphone problem.
