Boss released system program Ver.1.02 for the FS-1-WL in November 2022, according to the update history on the company's support page¹. The FS-1-WL is a wireless footswitch for controlling apps and devices over Bluetooth.

Under functionality improvements, Boss lists two changes: the ability to show or hide the software keyboard while using the editor on an iOS device, and improved Bluetooth connection stability¹.

Under bug fixes, the page lists two items: "Editor settings are not being reflected correctly on the unit" and "Specific MIDI messages are not outputting correctly"¹.

The page does not give a price for the update. It lists what the update requires: the FS-1-WL unit, a USB cable sold separately, a computer with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port running Windows or Mac, the SMF Player and UpdSMF software, and a PSA series AC adapter sold separately¹. Boss advises connecting an AC adapter or using new alkaline batteries to avoid losing power during the update, and notes that USB bus power is not supported¹.

The version can be checked in the FS-1-WL Editor by opening the MENU screen, tapping VERSION and reading the "FS-1-WL VERSION:" line¹. Boss states that inquiries about update procedures are not supported¹.
