We use " I'm sorry " for apologizing, regrets and sympathy.

Other ways to express apologies in formal contexts:

We use " excuse me " when interrupting someone politely

We can also use " excuse me" when someone says something shocking or bad to you and we say it emotionally or we can use it when you want someone to repeat something
