Apple today released watchOS 11.4, the latest update to the current Apple Watch operating system. The release of watchOS 11.4 comes a bit more than two months after the release of watchOS 11.3.
watchOS 11.4 is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 6 and later, all Apple Watch Ultra models, and the Apple Watch SE 2.
watchOS 11.4 can be downloaded for free through the dedicated Apple Watch app on the iPhone by going to “General” -> “Software Update.” The Apple Watch needs to have at least a 50% battery charge, needs to be on a charger, and needs to be in the range of the iPhone.
The release of watchOS 11.4 brings an option for a Sleep Wake Up alarm to break through Silent Mode, allowing your Apple Watch to make a sound in addition to haptic tapping when a morning alarm goes off. The update also adds support for Matter-compatible robot vacuum cleaners in the Home app, while also fixing an issue where face selection may become unresponsive when switching faces.
This update includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes, including:
– Matter-compatible robot vacuum cleaners can be added to the Home app as well as used in scenes, automations, or simply say “Siri, clean the living room.”
– An option to allow Sleep Wake Up alarm to break through Silent Mode
– An issue where face selection may become unresponsive when switching faces
