I’m using the new sleep function on my watch. When it begins sleep mode it sets Do Not Disturb, and turns off the speaker, however it doesn’t turn it back on again when the alarm goes off in the morning. The haptic tapping alone isn’t always enough to wake me. How do I ensure that the volume will be on when the alarm goes off in the morning?

Make sure your phone is not on silent and your watch is not muted. You should get sound and haptic.

Watch > Settings > sounds and haptic > make sure the sound is turned up all the way and haptic is set to prominent.

Hmm… that seems to all be in order, yet no alarm sound. 06F3E481-93BA-49E4-A0C7-436DCDB27181.jpeg

I'm having the same problem (and my the alarm set from the Sleep part of Health app on my iPhone doesn't go off either). Have you found a solution yet?

I think this is a bug. I can’t get my phone to make any sound at wake up time with the sleep alarm, and as a last resort I tried to get the watch to ring but even that won’t.

It is very frustrating.
