How to Turn Off the Red Dot on an Apple Watch

The red dot on an Apple Watch serves the same purpose as the badge notifications on an iPhone. It functions properly when you receive a small number of notifications, however for certain users, this is not the case. If you have a lot of notifications, the red dot will stay on the watch face virtually all of the time. If turning off alerts on your Apple Watch isn’t an option, you might want to consider hiding the red dot instead, which is what we’ll show you how to do in the following section. When you have notifications on your Apple Watch that have not been read, a small red dot will appear at the very top of the watch face. If you don’t want the red dot to be visible, you can hide it, and we’ll show you how to do so.

From Your Apple Watch:

1. You can also conceal the red dot by using the controls directly on your Apple Watch. To accomplish this, you will need to tap the display on your Watch just once so that it can wake up. After that, you will need to press the Digital  Crown, which is the huge circular button located on the side of the Apple Watch.

2. When you press the Digital Crown, the Apple Watch displays a list or grid of all the apps it has installed. To access Settings, tap the icon that looks like a gear.

3. Open “Notifications” in the settings menu of your Apple Watch.

4. Turn off the “Notifications Indicator” indicator by toggling the switch that’s adjacent to it. Checking the colour of the switch is another way to confirm if it is in the off position. If it is coloured green, then it can be used. If it is grey, then it cannot be used.

5. After that, you should leave the Settings. Now that the red dot has been covered up on the Apple Watch, you can at long last take pleasure in the fresh new appearance of your watch face.
