Apple Watch users just got precisely one new, added convenience with the latest watchOS update.

According to 9to5Mac, watchOS 11.2 hit the streets this week, and it can be downloaded by anyone with a modern Apple Watch now. Anyone hoping for a massive suite of cool new features will probably be disappointed, though, as this update is primarily focused on bug fixes. That said, there is one new thing you can do with your Apple Watch now.

Specifically, users who like to use the Camera Control app on watchOS to control their iPhone camera can now pause videos during recording from the watch. That's it. That's the big new feature that's coming with watchOS 11.2. It's not a huge one, but for those who enjoy using Camera Control, it's probably very welcome.

If you want to take advantage of this or any bug fixes or security updates, go to Settings, then General, then Software Update on your Apple Watch. Make sure you plug the watch in before updating, too.
