With the release of watchOS 11.4, Apple Watch users now have the option to allow alarm sounds to play even when the device is in Silent Mode. Previously, activating Silent Mode muted all sounds, including alarms, potentially causing users to miss important notifications. This update solves that issue by allowing alarms to audibly ring, even when other notifications remain silent.
Method 1: Enable Alarm Sounds from Apple Watch Settings
After completing these steps, your Apple Watch will now audibly alert you for alarms, ensuring you don’t miss important reminders or wake-up calls, even if you’ve silenced other notifications.
Method 2: Enable Alarm Sounds via the Watch App on Your iPhone
If you prefer managing your Apple Watch settings from your iPhone, this method is a convenient alternative.
This approach synchronizes immediately with your watch, so there’s no need for additional steps. Your alarms will now ring audibly, improving reliability and ensuring you don’t miss important alerts.
With these simple adjustments, your Apple Watch alarms will reliably sound, even when the watch is silenced, making sure you stay punctual and informed.
