watchOS 11.4 update: Key features

One of the standout additions in this update is the Sleep Wake Up alarm feature, which now allows alarms to break through Silent Mode. This means users can hear an audible alarm sound in addition to the haptic tapping, ensuring they wake up on time without toggling Silent Mode off manually.

Another notable enhancement is the support for Matter-compatible robot vacuum cleaners in the Home app. Users can now integrate these devices into scenes and automations or simply command Siri to clean specific areas, such as "Siri, clean the living room."

Additionally, the update addresses a bug that caused unresponsiveness when switching watch faces, ensuring a smoother experience for users.
