Apple Watch sleep mode not working since last update

Hello. I’m not sure if someone else faced this but I feel si ce the last update my Apple Watch doesn’t activate the « Sleep screen » when being in sleep mode from the phone. Previously it was working fine and it’s a recent behavior.

if I disable / enable the sleep focus mode on my watch it would work but not from the beginning when entering the mode via the automation.

Hi Antoinecmtl,


It seems you're having trouble with your Apple Watch matching your iPhone Focus and we can help.


Go to Settings > Focus, and make sure Share Across Devices is enabled on your iPhone.


If you have that on and Focus still isn't behaving correctly on your Apple Watch, try and unpair and pair your Apple Watch again:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Let us know if that helps.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Do you use the Always On feature with your Apple Watch? If so, try to disable it and test to see if the issue continues. 


“How to turn the Always On feature on or off

  1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. To do this, press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the Settings button .
  2. Tap Display & Brightness.
  3. Scroll down, then tap Always On.
  4. Tap Always On to turn on or turn off the feature” Use the Always On feature with your Apple Watch 


We hope this helps! 


Sincerely.
