Apple watch hand wash notification volume decreased after update

Hello, I am using Apple Watch 7

Apple watch hand wash notification volume decreased after update.

This issue occurred with update 9.3 (20S648)


With the previous update, the bell sound that rings at the beginning of every hour decreased, then this problem was fixed with 9.3, this time the hand washing notification sound level decreased.


After the 9.3 update I reset all the settings of my watch but there was no change in the handwash notification volume


I have forwarded this situation as a feedback, but this problem has not been resolved with the 9.3.1 (20S664) update.


Is this a mistake or was the volume lowered on purpose?

When dealing with the volume of "Notifications", you can turn them up (all notifications).


Using the paired iPhone, open the Watch app. Scroll down to and click on Sounds & Haptics. There is an Alert Volume slider at the top of the screen.


I'm certain that you can turn up the Notifications volume from the watch itself too, but my watch is currently on the charger and I can't confirm these steps:

Settings, > Sounds & Haptics


Hopefully this will get your hand washing notifications working better for you.
