Why is my Apple Watch OS 11 not providing haptic alerts

No Haptic only on watch ultra with OS 11 and Mail


Installed IOS 18 a few days and it worked great until the next day I installed OS11 on the watch. Now no matter what I do I cannot get just haptics on my watch when an email comes through. It’s either with sound or completely silent. I like it to just tap me on the wrist when I am at work and it’s really annoying now. I have tried all the setting in mirror my iphone and custom. I don't know why it has stopped working since messages etc can still get haptic only. It must be a bug.

Other people have been reporting the same too.

Did you already force restart your watch after the upgrade by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?


If this does not work, unpairing and connecting your watch again to your iPhone would be the next step:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If still no luck, you should report the issue directly to Apple by using the Feedback link:
