Apple has released watchOS 11.4, which includes several new features and a key bug fix for the Apple Watch. The update is not as extensive as those for iOS or iPadOS but brings useful enhancements. Key additions include:

  • Matter compatibility for robot vacuum cleaners in the Home app, allowing users to control them via scenes, automations, or Siri.
  • A new Sleep Wake Up alarm option that can break through Silent Mode, enabling an audible alarm even when notifications are set to haptic-only.
  • Seven new emoji added to the emoji keyboard. The update also resolves a bug where face selection may become unresponsive when switching faces. Notably, the Sleep Wake Up alarm feature is exclusive to watchOS 11.4.
