Setting Sleep focus alarm in iPhone won’t alarm on Apple Watch I have been using sleep focus and the associated alarm for several weeks now and have been trying to get the alarm (vibrate specifically) on my watch while I wear it sleeping. The alarm sounds and vibrates on my iPhone in the morning, but not my watch. What am I missing? Thanks!

Apple Watch Ultra Heart Rate During Workout I’ve been having problems with my Apple Watch ultra. basically as seen in the photos I’ve attached, every workout I do starts with the Apple Watch reading my heart rate and then for the next 5-10 minutes it doesn’t read at all. I’ve looked everywhere and read different forums and tried every setting possibility out there but none of it seems to work because it looks like I’m the only one with this problem, I’ve tried loosing and tightening my strap but it doesn’t effect the process. I’ve came to conclusion that this is a bug in the workout app because the heart rate sensors work and as seen they read my heart rate through the other half of my workout. if anyone else has this problem please let me know.

Open Settings on your iPhone, then tap Health/Medical ID and check your details.

Then;

Open the Health app and tap the Summary tab.

Tap your profile picture in the top right-hand corner.

Tap Health Profile, then tap Edit.

Check your information, like height, weight and age.

Tap Done.

And in the Watch App tap on emergency sos and tap on fall detection to turn it off or on.

If you're over 65 then fall detection is turned on by default
