The upcoming watchOS 11.4 update for Apple Watch will include a new feature called 'Break Through Silent Mode' that will allow alarms to be heard even when the watch is in Silent Mode.
With this feature enabled, both sounds and haptic vibrations will play when an alarm goes off, providing a more noticeable alert for users.
Previously, in Silent Mode, the Apple Watch only delivered alerts through haptic vibrations to maintain privacy and reduce distractions.
This change will benefit users who have trouble waking up to vibrations alone and prefer a more audible alarm on their Apple Watch.
