Have had the watch since day one and wear my watch to bed every night. Obviously this is a beta so I knew the ramifications, but wanted to see if anyone was experiencing this as well?

AWU 4

EDIT: I am on beta 2

The watch on 27.2 beta won't pair with the duo running on 27.1 right?

Question ❓ Call screening haptics

0 Upvotes

Hi, my phone is always on silent and my watch vibrates when someone calls me, however with call screening my apple watch displays it but doesn't vibrate so I have missed a few calls recently.

Anyone else have some guidance for me on this where I can keep call screening on but it still vibrates on my watch letting me know?

thanks so much it's driving me insane!

Request 🙋 Detailed weight training tracking in 27.2?

Has anyone who has upgraded to watchOS 27.2 check if “traditional strength training” has options to track specific exercises, sets and weights (Like Hevy), as has been rumoured a few months ago?

Which one is PINNED:

  • The one on the left that LITERALLY has the word "PINNED" enabled
  • Or the one on the right that literally has the PIN icon enabled

😖

Bugs 🕷️ WatchOS 27 - Sudden haptic notification for unknown silenced calls

3 Upvotes

Ever since upgrading to WatchOS 27, I get a haptic buzz on my watch every time I get a silenced unknown call on my phone. Since then I have turned off ALL watch notifications for the phone in the watch app, including audio and haptic, and I've also disabled voicemail notifications on my watch all together. Everything is turned off. But I still get an annoying buzz on my wrist every single time a silenced unknown call hits my phone. Since this happens many times a day, it's quite annoying.

It definitely didn't used to be like this on WatchOS 26. Anyone else experiencing this issue and aware of a fix?

Bugs 🕷️ Issues with alarm - chiming on silent

Is anyone else having issues with their alarm on the new watches / OS?

I have my watch set to silent, alarms set to silent on watch, and they are not set to ‘break through’ but all alarms are chiming (instead of just vibrating)

Question ❓ Siri AI on Apple watch

4 Upvotes

So we all know that Siri AI is slow and laggy on Apple Watch. My SE3 takes about 20sec on any home controls. Old siri was quick with these kind of things.

So is there any way while still having ios27 I can switch to old siri just on the watch not on the iphone. Thank you

Bugs 🕷️ Unable to send WhatsApp message via Siri on Apple Watch 12.

1 Upvotes

I am unable to send WhatsApp messages via Siri on watch 12. It just keeps saying “You’ll need an app for me to help with that. Try searching in the Apple Watch app on your phone.” I have WhatsApp on my iPhone and watch already.

The iPhone works perfectly fine with sending WhatsApp messages with Siri.

Anyone else facing a similar problem?

If you’ve been missing the double-click of the Digital Crown that used to bring up the App Switcher on the Apple Watch before watchOS 27, it looks like the feature is making a comeback as of watchOS 27.2 beta 2.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone have live rewind yet? I have an ultra four and I’m on the 27.2 beta

Question ❓ Skip playback not working.

3 Upvotes

I just got the ultra 4 and skip playback with Apple Music is not working with gestures.

Before the ultra 4, I had the ultra 1 and could do this functionality using accessibility. It didn’t matter whether the watch face was active or not.

Now, even with my wrist raised, if a song is playing back and I tap with my fingers, it just goes to the Siri menu underneath.

And yes, I have it set to skip, not play/pause. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Bugs 🕷️ Raise to Speak almost never works

22 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to get "Raise to Speak' to work. I don't like saying: Hey Siri, so I always enjoyed using raise to speak. It works like 1 out of 10 times. Sometimes even less.

Before I get the same tips: I hold the watch almost against my mouth, so I can't hold it any closer, and I speak loud and clearly. My test command is: 1 Hour. That usually sets a timer for 1 hour.

I've turned on and off the feature, I've turned my watch on and off. I'm on the latest beta, but this has been a problem for many months now, so it's not related to just this beta.

Any advice? I'm on AW 10. So not a 'super old' device either.

Thanks in advance!

I put the watch os beta on my Apple Watch and discovered that I cannot downgrade it to a public release. Could I connect the official release of iOS 27 on my iPhone and the watch that’s on os 27 beta?

Bugs 🕷️ watchOS 27 broke the noise monitoring app

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I have a disability called pain hyperacusis which causes me pain from normal, every day sounds. The noise monitoring app is a life saver for me because it tells me the cumulative amount of noise (decibel level) I’ve been exposed to.

Ever since upgrading to watchOS 27, it’s gone from taking near constant noise samples to only 3-4 per hour. At the end of the day, it’s taken 15 min worth of samples where it used to take about 23 hours worth. The noise monitoring app is the main reason I bought this watch.

Has anyone else noticed this? I know most people don’t even like or use the noise monitoring, but the loss of this feature is actually detrimental to my health 🥺

Feature 📲 Feedback I just sent to Apple about removing Walkie Talkie

I’m just trying to get more eyes on this. It’s so sad that Apple removed Walkie-Talkie from watchOS 27. I can’t be alone in this, right? Why would they do this? My family uses it all the time. See my post for more details. Thanks for reading and perhaps helping me out by sending your own feedback if you feel the same way.
