watchOS 9.5 issue causes the Apple Watch screen to show a weird green tint, all models affected

Alongside watchOS 9.5, Apple also seeded the latest iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 to the public, While the latest updates brought their fair share of new changes, the update also broke Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter for iPhone and iPad. The issue disallowed users to charge their devices while the dongle is connected to the camera or a microphone. Similarly, watchOS 9.5 comes with its issues related to the green screen tint on the display of the Apple Watch.

Some users are complaining that their Apple Watch is showing a weird green tint on the screen after updating to watchOS 9.5. The complaints were reported on Reddit and MacRumors Forums, highlighting the aftermath of the watchOS 9.5 update. With iOS 16.5, we advised readers to resist the latest update if they use the dongle daily. If you have not updated to the latest watchOS 9.5 update, we would advise you to resist the update until Apple issues a fix.

The issue appears to be a software bug brought forward by the latest watchOS 9.5 update. Henceforth, there is no need t be alarmed if you are assuming there is something wrong with the display of your Apple Watch. The green tint on the display of the Apple Watch is mostly visible on the Lock Screen of the Apple Watch, the Control Center, and the Notifications panel. Moreover, all models of the Apple Watch Series that support the latest update are affected by the issue but Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra complaints are fewer than the rest of the lineup.

Some users are speculating if Apple has intentionally added the tint to the visuals. However, it does not go with the rest of the interface as it looks out of place and weird. Nonetheless, if it is an issue, Apple has released the first beta of its upcoming watchOS 9.6 update to developers and the final release will potentially fix it. This is all there is to it, folks. Are you affected by the green tint screen on your Apple Watch? Let us know in the comments.
