Tap to speak time gone? iOS 13/watchOS 6

Hi,


Has the “Tap to speak time” feature been removed from iOS 13 / watchOS 6 (Apple Watch 5) or moved to some other location?


Micky no longer speaks the time when you tap him and the option is not long in the ‘Sounds and Haptics’ menu?


Thanks

Apple Watch

The option has moved. Go to your watch settings and then Clock, turn tap to speak time ON, it will work in all clock faces. Hold 2 fingers on the clock face. For Mickey to speak it needs to download the voice sound files.

make sure it is on wifi, and put it in the charger. After at least 15 minutes ( depending on your internet speed, it may be much longer), the sound files will download.

After that it will work.

i even restored my watch and set up as a new watch hoping it will solve the problem. Kept both iphone and watch on charger and connected to my WiFi (of decent speed) for several hours and still ongoing (so beyond the 15min period many have mentioned).../ so far no sound when taping mickey.

Seeing that many had this issue when updated to ios13/watchos6 I believe it’s a bug and hope Apple finds a solution it as early as possible ...
