Apple Releases watchOS 11.4 With Sleep Alarm Update

[macamazing]

What’s up with the new dog breed designations?

Woof, woof!

 

[VineRider]

I suppose it's April Fur's day 🐕

 

[MrGimper]

Newer than the RC and wasn’t picked up when I had beta updates enabled on the watch. Had to turn beta updates off for this to be picked up and install.

 

[Pitogyro]

Nothing about the series 10 low speaker volume bug? It's been going for almost half a year now, what are those clowns doing?! https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255798194?sortBy=rank

I effin' loathe that Update Completed notice. I seriously don't need to know that, I, updated my Apple Watch.

 

[Robin Bonathan]

still verifying, taken over an hour for install. :-(

 

[Etc_]

Does anyone know if the bug where there's no battery notification on the iPhone when the Apple Watch reaches 100% charge has been fixed?

My phone says it’s updated to 11.4, but my watch still says 11.3.1?

Now it’s saying 11.4, after turning off and on.

Dude check the Apple Watch app and turn on automatic updates! Then check back bruv 👊 and it should show up.

As long you don’t have the beta updates on if you were on RC watchOS 11.4.

 

[goldmac2006]

build number is 22T251 - which is strange. that's the same build number that was pulled!

i finally installed it about 25 hours late

Rly? Which Apple Watch did you install the update on?

 

[Rafagon]

Scary. Pretty big 1GB for me....

It's those 8 new emoji. They're 8K resolution. And they're infused with AI.

 

[Rafagon]

Taking for ever to install been at it for 45 minutes now.

What upsets me is the Wi-Fi connection requirement. Thankfully, I borrow someone's Wi-Fi, but I wonder where I would be without this privilege.

Without those 8 new emoji, that's where.

That must be the reason.

Fixed in 11.4 for me on an Ultra.
Horrible bug, glad it’s fixed.

I think I'll wait about 48 hours..

 

[acizko92]

All I want is longer battery lifetime

 

[jz0309]

BIG download, took just a little over 20 min on my U2 from download to install complete, battery went from 90% to 81% though ...

 

[BuffaloTF]

Where is this new setting found?

This the sound one? To me it looks like it’s just on. In Sounds & Haptics, right under the Silent Mode toggle it says “Silent mode will not mute alarms and timers while the Apple Watch is charging.” So, just looks like it’s gotta be charging, so no sleep tracking.

Here's to hoping they restored the remote function to control mac/pc music libraries that was nuked at the launch of watchOS 11...

It’s data over Bluetooth so not far off.

Kind of amazing we got stuck with this technology that works just well enough nobody can replace it but everyone also knows it mostly sucks.

The watch can update over Wi-Fi. You actually don't even need to use your phone either. If it's downloading slowly, then turn Bluetooth off to force it to use Wi-Fi.

I started the update at 2:39pm, and it was done at 3:00pm...so ~20 minutes total for my S10.

yes much faster to download directly on watch and not via the iPhone watch app.

 

[CWallace]

Applied the update and it is no longer tracking Exercise minutes in workouts, though it is still tracking the other health features...

Thanks!

Had no idea this was possible on the watch itself.

Downloading 11.4 now.

Thanks for the reminder. I always thought it was strange the watch always prefers Bluetooth even with a strong Wifi signal.
