Has always worked and is still working for me on iPhone 16 Pro Max and Watch Ultra 2.
Same here why in the world would it not work for some? I got a blue iPhone 15 pro with gold stainless steel Apple Watch Series 6. All running fine on the latest iOS 18.4 and watchOS 11.4 betas
 
I have no idea to be honest, I don’t understand how software works. I guess that’s the nature of it.

Would be interesting to know if people who have this problem have completely wiped their devices to see if that fixes it. I know that that should never have to be done but, this is Apple software and it ain’t what it used to be.

That’s why half of users, regardless of whether they have new or old iPhone or Apple Watch models, are experiencing this issue. Even iPhones less than a year or two old are affected, and I’ve heard from various users with iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, and other devices that don’t have this issue either.

It’s still a mystery. If you’re experiencing this issue in iOS 18.4 beta 4 or watchOS 11.4 beta 4, please report it on the Feedback Assistant. 🙏
 
AWU1 and 16PM both with latest betas
Restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch. If the charging notification is on, check the sleep tracking settings for charging notifications. Double-check the Bluetooth and WiFi settings and toggle them on and off. If the issue persists, file feedback on Feedback Assistant.

Been doing that since iOS 18 came out, which is when the issue started and has persisted in 18.1 through now. I’ve filed feedback, but it doesn’t seem to be a high priority issue for them.

I don’t have that issue on mines so it has to be singling out so many Apple Watch and iPhone users since the iOS 18 public release.

I still encourage you to share the feedback ids so anyone else can get Apple’s attention on this. Cheers 👋
 
Still not working to me after switching to 16PM and AWU2 in September 20th.
Same here on my 16 pro, 15 pro always worked too.
Y’all blokes getting this issue on your iPhone 16 pros and the Apple Watch Ultra 2? Wow are y’all running beta versions on your watches ?
Have you tried unpairing the watch?

And please provide your feedback ID for others to refer to when they also report it (assuming they are!).
If you’re experiencing any issues with the watchOS beta, please unpair your Apple Watch if you can. If you have any feedback, please leave it and include feedback IDs for others who may be having the same problem.

I personally don’t have that bug.

I never reported it.
Not tried unpairing watch. It's too much work fot such small bug.

I'm not running beta, I'm on public releases only.

Bruh that’s no way you cannot report feedback on public release.

Yea kinda risky to unpair the Apple Watch back and forth, you may risk data loss.
 
Y’all what are your hopes for the 5th release of watchOS 11.4 beta? All the above bugs y’all experiencing I want it to be patched. Including battery life.

Let’s see in tomorrow’s update when it comes out !
 
How about a Snoopy band?
Hey everyone! Y’all in for band speculation today? I wished they had a Snoopy and Mickey Mouse strap! Can you imagine?

By the way, I’m writing to you all as the RC of iOS 18.4 and watchOS 11.4. I’m thrilled to share that these updates are now available! Make sure to download them and let me know if you have any questions or feedback. I hope everything is running smoothly and all bugs are sorted out .

What features? For me watchOS 11 is almost dead, until its 12 release. All these new updates since 11.1 bring practically nothing new.
Ohhh I was mostly just saying if any bugs have been fixed. Apple Intelligence wrote it like that so I will edit it out. Thanks for letting me know.

Mine is stuck on ‘Verifying…’ for quite some time. Series 10 and 16 Pro Max.
No way how can it brick 🧱 The latest Apple Watch? Check your WiFi connection. 📶

I installed the 11.4 RC earlier with no problems, just left it charging/downloading whilst I had dinner, once belly was full RC was installed.
Doing the same, going to do the update for my watch now as I get ready to wash 🧼 up after my workout. 🏋️ iPhone 15 Pro got 18.4 RC already when I ate lunch. 🥗
 
Are you forgetting the 7 new emoji? 🤣
Hey everyone! Guess what? I recently heard that you don’t necessarily need to have silent mode on to silence your sleep tracking alarms. You can now override the alarm to sound when it goes off in the morning! Check out the link below: 👇


And here’s another cool thing: all the spring 2025 Apple Watch bands colors are now available on the Apple Watch app to set your face colors! No need to worry about mixing and matching similar colours! 🎨
 
Thought this RC might fix a complication problem I have with the Infograph face. On occasions they don’t load up but if I swipe to another face they’re fine, swipe back and they don’t load up.
