search other articles--with some source articles saying the update removes the functionality on all older watches (and thus the APP on your iPhone will give a message stating the function is no longer available, but still showing the icon on the watch) and some stating that somehow the software will differentiate (does not seem likely to me) and not disable older watches but only those that are set up and updated since the settlement.

I am watching this (again contradictory) discussion on the Apple Community Discussion thread to see if anyone will post AFTER having allowed this very recent update to install. Until then, I'm disabling updates to be certain.

ON EDIT: I see your second posted link and this is reassuring but I'm going to wait for more validation. But as the second article points out, they can't attest for future updates so turning off auto-update and only manually installing when there is evidence of no issues seems to be the wiser course. I NEED this feature.
