Here’s How to Enable Sound and Vibration for Better Alerts

Your Apple Watch Alarm Doesn’t Have to Be Silent

Apple Watch Alarm Upgrade! Now, your alarm can sound even in Silent Mode with watchOS 11.4, ensuring you never miss it.

Why the Delay? Apple pulled watchOS 11.4 at the last minute but has now released it with this much-awaited feature.

How It Works: Just like on iPhone, your alarm will now ring even if your Apple Watch is in Silent mode.

Supported Apple Watches: Available on Apple Watch Series 6 & later, Apple Watch Ultra & Ultra 2, and Apple Watch SE 2.

How to Enable It: Open the Alarms app on your Apple Watch. > Edit the alarm and scroll down. > Turn on Break Through Silent Mode.

For Sleep Mode Alarms: Open the Sleep app. > Edit your Wake Up Alarm settings. > Enable Break Through Silent Mode under Sound & Haptics.

Heads Up! You need to enable this setting for each alarm individually. A system-wide toggle might come in future updates.

Final Step: Update your iPhone to iOS 18.4, then install watchOS 11.4 via the Watch app > General > Software Update.
