Notications

Notications on Apple Watch

Apps send notications to keep you informed—meeting invitations, messages, and exercise reminders are just a few examples. Notications are displayed on Apple Watch as soon as they arrive. If you don’t read them right away, they’re saved so you can check them later.

Swipe down on the watch face to see unread notifications.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding distractions that could lead to dangerous

situations, see Important safety information on page 81.

Respond to live notications

Respond to a notication when it arrives. If you hear or feel a notication, raise Apple Watch to view it. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll to the bottom of the notication, then tap a button there. Or tap the app icon in the notication to open the corresponding app.

Tap to open the full app.

Dismiss a notication. Swipe down on the notication you’re reading, or scroll to the bottom of the notication and tap Dismiss.

Choose which notications you get. On iPhone, go to Settings > Notications to specify which apps and events generate notications. Then, open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Notications, tap the app (for example, Messages), then choose Mirror my iPhone. Or, to choose dierent notication settings than those on iPhone, choose Custom instead.

Choose which notifications to see on Apple Watch.

Silence notications. To silence notications on Apple Watch, swipe up on the watch face, swipe to the Settings glance, then tap Silent Mode. You’ll still feel a tap when a notication arrives. To prevent sound or tap, tap Do Not Disturb.

Keep it private. When you raise your wrist to see a notication, you get a quick summary, then full details a few seconds later. For example, when a message arrives, you see who it’s from rst, then the message appears. To stop the full notication from appearing unless you tap it, open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Notications, then turn on Notication Privacy.

Respond to unread notications

See notications you haven’t responded to. If you don’t respond to a notication when it arrives, it’s saved in Notication Center. A red dot at the top of your watch face shows you have an unread notication—swipe down to view it. To scroll the notications list, swipe up or down

or turn the Digital Crown.

Swipe down to view unread notifications.
