Apple rolls out watchOS 11.4: Key features, how to download and more

Apple has officially rolled out watchOS 11.4, the latest update to its operating system, bringing new features and improvements to enhance user experience. The update is compatible with Apple Watch Series 6 and later, all Apple Watch Ultra models, and the Apple Watch SE 2.
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.
To install watchOS 11.4, users need to ensure their Apple Watch has at least 50% battery, is placed on a charger, and is within range of a connected iPhone. The update can be downloaded via the Apple Watch app on the iPhone by navigating to General > Software Update.
