Sleep apnea turned off?

I was on the 11.1 RC beta. My watch prompted me to update to 11.1 stable, which I thought was weird. Anyway, I updated, and now sleep apnea is turned off. Any fix for this? I submitted feedback in the app

Does your watch make notification sound when sleep mode is activated?

I get on the hour chirps and notifications when I have my sleep mode activated on my watch.

I could have sworn it didn't used to do that before I joined the beta months ago.

On 11.1 beta - 11.0.1 offered

I've been on Watch 11.1 beta for weeks. This morning I get a prompt to accept T&C's then am offered 11.0.1 as an update. If I switch off beta updates, it goes away. Makes the think it's a naming display issue? Strange

WatchOS 11.1 RC not out?

Are these gradually released to developer profiles? Some tech news outlets point out that it’s out but on my units I still only see Beta 5.

No Message notifications, anyone else?

Running 11.1 beta on my Apple Watch and not getting any notifications. Messages come in, but no notification whatsoever. No red dot, no ding, no vibrate. Anyone else?

Vitals not showing

Any idea why some vitals are not working? Sleep Modus is activated every night and I am using the watch already for several weeks but nothing…

No text notifications

Hoping someone has an answer. I’m running the latest beta of watchOS on my AWU2 and I’ve noticed I no longer get text notifications at all. I’ve tried all the various notification settings and all are correct. I’m stumped with this one!

Anyone having this issue? If so, any advice?

TIA.

Bug with the News app

Is anyone else’s watch on the 11.1 beta randomly receiving News app alerts a half hour or so after they’re supposed to come in? Or are my settings just somehow having the News app give a late summary

Unable to Verify

Hi all, as the screenshot shows, I continue to get this error when trying to update to WatchOS 11.1b5 on my AWU2. I am on iOS 18.1db7 on an iPhone 15 Pro. I have tried updating from both the phone (Watch app) and actual watch. I have deleted the update from Watch storage and let it redownload. I have power cycled both devices. I have confirmed storage and internet connections. I have even reset my router.

Any tips or ideas?

WatchOS Bug remains

Anyone else see this button and when you click on it you just get the spinning wheel of death that only goes away if you force quit the Settings app? I had this on the last beta and unfortunately it isn't fixed with today's release. Now before you jump on my case, yes I know I signed up for this when I decided to run developer betas on my watch, I'm not complaining rather asking if others are also experiencing this issue

Double tap to scroll during workouts not working in watchOS 11.1 public beta

Has anyone else got the same issue? Not a biggie but it’s quite a cool feature during runs. All the correct settings are activated.

Apple pulls watchOS 11.1 beta 3 after users report frozen devices

Apple has pulled the watchOS 11 beta 3 update, according to Aaron Perris on X. The update was initially released to developers yesterday, but some users are having problems after installing the latest beta.

Users on Reddit reported issues with their Apple Watch models after updating to the new beta, including “locked up” devices and issues with Messages notifications syncing. These users report that their devices remain frozen, even after reboots. One person commented the following: 

This is quite a large concern, especially given the fact that there’s no way for users to revert firmware without taking their Apple Watch to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, and having it sent to an off site repair facility.

Mail not loading

Hi everyone. I’ve been on all of the watch betas all summer. I use my watch for email a lot, and since the summer my watch is only displaying the first two emails in my inbox. I’ve deleted the account from the watch, added it, etc. anyone else seeing this? It’s probably a setting somewhere but can’t find anything.

The install on my Series 10 was 3GBs again. Not noticing anything new yet. Sleep apnea still missing and old watch faces still don't show second hand just on the new ones.

Seem to have lost Blood Oxygen in Vitals with 11.1 Beta 1

Hi all,

I have an AWU2, am on watchOS 11.1 Beta 2 (22R5554e), and am in Canada.
Last week I started losing Blood Oxygen data in my Vitals app for overnight. I can still take a reading though the Blood Oxygen App on my watch, but I see a "No Data" message otherwise. I think the Friday is when I updated to 11.1 Beta 1. I updated to 11.1 Beta 2 yesterday in the hopes of regaining this.

Anyone else experiencing this? Hoping its a buggy beta, but thought I'd check in.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Well the night after making this post, things seem to be back to normal and I got an overnight Vitals reading. Thanks to the Apple employee who read this post and turned it back on for me 😘

Can't Customize Haptic Alerts to only Text Now?

Since updating to OS11 I get haptic alerts on ALL notifications. Previously, I was able to set Haptic Alerts to only Text messages. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Has anyone seen a degradation of battery life since v11? I’ve lost 40% in 6 hours with no GPS being used and not many notifications

Remove Beta

Before y'all get mad at me, I know there is no way to downgrade and I did not plan on having to but a last-minute plan came up.

With that in mind, I have disabled Developer Beta in the watch settings, but I am wondering when the next official release will come out so I can transfer to that.
