This novelty will prevent you from being asleep if the clock vibrations are not enough to wake up, adding sound to the alarmto make sure you don't stay attached to the camera.
News of Watchos 11.4
Currently, if you activate the silence mode in your Apple Watch, the sleep mode alarm only uses haptic feedback, that is, emits small wrist vibrations. For some, this is enough to wake up discreetly, but others can sleep deeply without noticing vibrations. With Watchos 11.4, Apple introduces a new option that will break with the silence mode and allow the alarm to emit sound in addition to vibrating, ensuring that you wake up on time.
This new function can be activated in a simple way. You just have to open the sleep app at the Apple Watch, access the sound and haptic section and activate the option of “Break the silence mode”. It can also be activated from the clock application, editing any active alarm. Once configured, by carrying the Apple Watch on night, the sleep mode alarm will use both sound and vibrations to wake up, regardless of whether the silence is activated or not.
This change, although it may seem lower, is an important improvement for those who depend on Apple Watch as a alarm clock, as is my particular case. Haptic feedback is discreet and useful in many cases, but it is not always enough, especially for those who have deep sleep. When combining vibrations and sound we will make sure that no one is accidentally asleep.
But Watchos 11.4 is not limited to improving alarms. The update also includes support for robot vacuums compatible with Matter, the home automation standard that seeks to unify intelligent devices in all ecosystems. In this way, users can now control your smart vacuners from Apple Watch In a much more integrated way, without depending on specific apps.
When Watchos 11.4 comes out
Besides, Watchos 11.4 Correct a rather annoying problem that affected the selection of spheres. Some users had reported that changing between different spheres of the clock sometimes made the interface slow or not responding correctly. With this update, Apple has solved the failure, ensuring a more fluid experience by customizing the appearance of the clock.
Apple has already provided the RC or Watchos 11.4 candidate version To developers, which means that the final version is practically ready. If last minute errors are not detected, the update is expected to be officially launched in early April, possibly next week.
This update reaffirms Apple's commitment to continuously improve the usability of Apple Watch with small adjustments that make a difference in everyday life. With the option of alarms that sound even in silence mode, integration with Matter devices and improvements in system stability, Watchos 11.4 will be an update that many users will receive with open arms.
