How to Mute your Apple Watch

When you turn on mute on your Apple Watch, all of the audio on the device will be muted. The procedure is as follows.

1. To access the Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the Watch face.

2. To activate Silent Mode, tap the bell icon in the bottom-right corner. When this function is activated, the icon will become illuminated and there will be a line drawn through the bell.

3. Even when Silent Mode is on, you will continue to feel taps on your wrist for haptic notifications, and alarms and timers will continue to go off even when the Apple Watch is charging.

4. In the Settings app on your Apple Watch or the Watch app on your iPhone, navigate to Sounds & Haptics and toggle the “Haptic Alerts” switch to the “off” position to deactivate the haptic notifications.

How to Turn on Do Not Disturb

Because of this function, your Watch will not vibrate or light up if you receive a call or an alarm.

1. To access the Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the Watch face.

2. Select the icon that looks like a crescent moon.

3. Choose an option from the drop-down menu to decide the duration for which this feature will be active. If you select “On,” Do Not Disturb will remain active until you manually turn it off. However, if you choose an option such as “On for 1 hour” or “On till this evening,” Do Not Disturb will switch off once the specified amount of time has elapsed.

4. The moon icon will display in the middle of the watch face once Do Not Disturb has been activated.

5. Even when the Do Not Disturb option is activated, alarms will continue to play.

6. Activating or deactivating Do Not Disturb can also turn the feature on or off on an iPhone, and this action has the same effect as manually activating or deactivating the feature on an iPhone.

How to Turn on Theater Mode

Another method for reducing the volume on your Apple Watch is to use the Theater Mode. When Theater Mode is turned on, Silent Mode is also engaged, and the feature that wakes the screen when the user raises their wrist is briefly disabled.

1. To access the Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the Watch face.

2. Tap the icon that looks like a pair of masks.

3. When Theater Mode is active, the icon representing masks will appear at the very top of the display on the Watch.

4. Even when you are in Theater Mode, you will continue to get haptic notifications.

5. While Theater Mode is active, you can wake the screen of the Watch by tapping the display, pressing the side button, or rotating the Digital Crown.

How to Silence an Incoming Alert

Cover to Mute is a function that allows you to silence incoming alerts and notifications in the event that you forget to mute or otherwise silence notifications in advance.

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone, navigate to the My Watch tab, and then pick Sounds & Haptics from the menu that appears. Cover to Mute should now be enabled. To mute the volume, turn on Cover.

2. To dismiss an alarm or notification that has just arrived, cover the display with your palm until you feel a tap (about three seconds).

FAQs

Does Apple Watch vibrate on silent mode?

If you put your watch into “Silent mode,” it won’t chime or beep, but it will still vibrate. The remaining functionalities operate as expected. Tap the bell icon to toggle the setting between on and off. When you put your phone into “Theater mode,” it will go into silent mode and turn off the display unless you tap it or push a button to turn it back on.

Does Apple Watch go silent with iPhone?

Silent mode is a feature that can be used on both the Apple Watch and the iPhone, and it allows users to silence all incoming notification sounds. This can be useful for avoiding embarrassing situations in certain circumstances, such as a ringtone going off in the middle of a lecture or disturbing participants during a work conference.

What does haptic mean on Apple Watch?

Haptics are vibrating warnings directed at your wrist and arm, whereas sounds are audible notifications that are played through your ears. It is possible to modify the alert loudness, adjust the haptic strength, and turn on or off Prominent Haptic using either the Apple Watch itself or the Apple Watch software on your iPhone. You have the option to do any of these things from either device.

Why does my Apple Watch ring when on silent?

All replies

When the watch is mirrored to an iPhone, enabling Do Not Disturb on the watch alone will NOT prevent the watch from ringing if a call comes in on the iPhone.

What does mirror my iPhone mean?

To have the same settings that you use on your iPhone also be available on your Apple Watch is what it means to mirror the settings from your iPhone to your Apple Watch. Your notifications are a good illustration of this concept. If you select to have your Apple Watch use the same settings as your iPhone for notifications and you mirror those settings on your iPhone, then your Apple Watch will use the same settings.
