WatchOS 11 was released by Apple on Monday as the latest operating system (OS) for Apple Watch. This includes features like training load, a new Vitals app, the ability to sense workout strain, better support during pregnancy, and an improved smart stack with live activities. However, one feature that the Cupertino-based tech giant did not explicitly advertise, but has made its way into the Apple Watch, is the ability to change the default ringtone.
Changing ringtone on Apple Watch
Since launch, there have been only minor changes to the Apple Watch’s ringtones. Although the Watch Series 3 introduced a new version of it, users still didn’t have the option they wanted. However, the new watchOS 11 update changes this by introducing multiple ringtone options.

Users now have eight different ringtones to choose from: Focus, Jingle, Nighthawk, Pebbles, Transmit, Twirl, Windup, and Wonder.
Ringtones on Apple Watch can be changed by going to Settings and then navigating to Sound and Haptics Tab. will be available under Ringtone Option. Additionally, users can also customize notification tones for text, email, and calendar alerts.
A Gadgets 360 staff member was able to verify the feature’s availability on the Apple Watch after updating to watchOS 11.
Other new features
