To get sound back on your Apple Watch, there are a few steps you can follow.
1. Check the volume settings: On your Apple Watch, open the Settings app by tapping on the icon that looks like a gear. Scroll down and tap on “Sounds & Haptics.” Here, you can adjust the volume by tapping on the volume up or volume down buttons. You can also adjust the volume by tapping on the slider and using the Digital Crown to increase or decrease the volume. Make sure the volume is not set too low or muted.
2. Check the ringer switch: On the side of your Apple Watch, there is a switch called the ringer switch. Make sure it is not set to silent mode by sliding it towards the screen. When the switch is pushed towards the screen, you will see a red dot indicating that silent mode is enabled. Slide the switch away from the screen to turn off silent mode.
3. Check the notification settings: Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and go to “Sounds & Haptics.” Under the “Ringer and Alerts” section, make sure that the “Silent Mode” toggle is turned off. This will allow notifications to make sounds on your Apple Watch.
4. Check the Do Not Disturb mode: If your Apple Watch is in Do Not Disturb mode, it may not play sounds for incoming notifications. To check if Do Not Disturb is enabled, swipe up on the watch face to access the Control Center. If the crescent moon icon is highlighted, tap on it to disable Do Not Disturb mode.
5. Restart your Apple Watch: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve sound issues. To restart your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until the power off slider appears. Slide the slider to the right to turn off your Apple Watch. After a few seconds, press and hold the side button again until the Apple logo appears, indicating that your Apple Watch is restarting.
If none of these steps work, there may be a more complex issue with your Apple Watch’s hardware or software. In this case, it is recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for further assistance.
I hope these steps help you get the sound back on your Apple Watch!
