Sound from watch face
MMickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are supposed to tell me the time when I tap them but they don't. I've checked settings and volume. Any suggestions?
Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 10.2.1
Hi
To use the Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse watch faces with their Tap to Speak Time feature, follow these steps:
- Select the Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse watch face:
- Check that Tap to Speak Time is enabled:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Sounds & Haptics - turn on Tap to Speak Time.
- When viewing the time on your watch, swipe up on the display to open Control Centre.
Check that Silent Mode is not enabled:
- If the Silent Mode button (crossed out bell icon) is grey / dim, it is turned off.
- Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
- Ensure that your watch has access to Wi-Fi:
- Check that your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth (Connected + green phone icon) and that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Or, if your iPhone is not currently connected via Bluetooth, check that your watch has connected to a trusted Wi-Fi network as a fallback (Connected + green cloud icon).
- About Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on Apple Watch - Apple Support
- Place your watch on the charger, connected to power.
- Wait for around 15 minutes (it may take significantly longer) for the voices to download to your watch.
- Test by waking the screen and then tapping the watch face.
If the feature still does not work as expected, it may help to close the Watch app and restart both your iPhone and your watch before repeating the steps:
- On your iPhone: double-click the Home button, then swipe up on the Watch app preview.
- Turn both devices off together, then restart your iPhone first:
