You’ll soon be able to hear Apple Watch alarms even in silent mode

Summary
Apple has released its release candidate for the latest update to its watchOS, 11.4, which scraps some bugs and introduces a notable new feature.
The update adjusts the functionality of the Apple Watch’s Silent Mode, which currently only delivers alerts via vibration, so as not to make noise.
The new update will offer a “Break Through Silent Mode” option for each individual alarm, including one set in the watch’s sleep settings, which will allow users to hear alarms whilst still keeping notifications private and not causing distractions.
The new mode may prove particularly useful for those who frequently sleep through the watch’s current alarm vibrations.
