With watchOS 11, Apple Watch <https://amzn.to/3xbeFCl>  users will get a
bunch of new features, including health and fitness improvements, Live
Activities, the Translate app, and new watch faces. But the watchOS 11
update also comes with another new feature that wasn’t mentioned by Apple at
WWDC 2024, and that’s the ability to change the default ringtone.

 


watchOS 11 now has ringtone options


 


Since the very beginning, Apple Watch users have been able to make and
answer calls from their iPhone. However, users are still stuck with Apple’s
default ringtone. With the launch of the Apple Watch Series 3, owners of the
Cellular version got a new ringtone – but there’s still no option to change
it.

Luckily, watchOS 11 changes that. The beta preview available to developers
adds the option to change the Apple Watch ringtone. There are eight
different ringtones that users can choose from, including the previous ones
from the GPS and Cellular versions. These are:

 

*	Pebbles (Cellular ringtone)
*	Focus
*	Jingle (original ringtone)
*	Nighthawk
*	Transmit
*	Twirl
*	Windup
*	Wonder

 

In addition to the ringtone, users can also change the notification sound
for text messages, email, calendar alerts, reminders, and regular
notifications. These are the options available:

 

*	Resonate
*	Brilliant
*	Cheer
*	Flutter
*	Globe
*	Moment
*	Scoop
*	Timekeeper
*	Tinker

 

Unfortunately, there are still no options for things like setting a specific
ringtone for each contact or setting a ringtone from the iTunes Store.
Still, this is certainly a welcome change for Apple Watch users.

 


More about the update


 


watchOS 11 will be available to the public this fall. A developer beta
<https://developer.apple.com/>  is now available, while a public beta will
be released next month. The update requires an Apple Watch Series 6 or
later.
