Watchos 11.4 has 3 new features (and is finally available)

Watchos 11.4 contains three new functions, but Apple almost immediately withdrew the update. Now Watchos 11.4 can finally be installed, this changes!

Watchos 11.4 has 3 new features (but Apple is updating in)

In addition to iOS 18.4, Apple had also released a new version of Watchos 11.4, but quickly withdrew the update. It is not known why Apple did this. Probably one of the features in Watchos 11.4 did not work properly or other problems came to light.

In the meantime, Apple has solved these problems, making Watchos 11.4 now available to everyone. With the update there will be a number of new features to your Apple Watch. Curious about what is changing? We put them under each other.

These are the new features

The update of Watchos 11.4 is not very large, but Apple did put a number of new features in the update.

• Vacuum cleaners with support for Matter can now be added to the home app;
• The option to make an alarm heard while you still have the Apple Watch in Silent Mode;
• Eight new emoji.

Apple has also solved a problem with the dials. It sometimes happened that your set dial no longer responded when you changed between dials.

Make a quiet alarm heard

Especially the function to set (and to hear) a quiet alarm makes this update interesting for Apple Watch owners. The silent mode ensures that you do not hear any sounds when you receive a notification on your Apple Watch, for example. Instead, you can set a soft vibration so that you still know that a message has been received for you.

When you have switched on the silent mode, it also applies to the alarm on your Apple Watch. You only feel a vibration when your alarm clock ends in the morning. It was not possible to make an alarm heard, without first turning off the silent mode. With the new function in Watchos 11.4 you now hear the alarm when you turn on it.
