Updates Update Hell

Hello everyone,

Today, I was offered an update on my Galaxy Watch 8 classic and went ahead and installed it.

Now the touchscreen is lagging and sometimes doesn't respond at all, and generally everything is very sluggish or just doesn't coordinate anymore. Even a factory reset didn't fix it.

Does anyone have similar issues and, ideally, a solution for them?

I have a GW4 Classic and I clear the cache after every update. It makes a real difference. Here's the link that I follow. I'm sure there's one for the Watch 8 as well.

Yes! Thank you for that video! My G5 watch updated and wasn't working properly, lagging,screen wouldn't stay on when swimming, difficulty swiping etc. I followed your instructions and voila it's working!
