See and respond to notifications
Apps send notifications to keep you informed—meeting invitations, messages, and Activity reminders are just a few examples. Apple Watch displays notifications as they arrive, but if you donʼt read one right away, itʼs saved so you can check it later.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding distractions that could lead to dangerous situations, see Important safety information.
Respond to a notification when it arrives. If you hear or feel a notification, raise your wrist to view it. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll to the bottom of the notification, then tap a button there. Or tap the app icon in the notification to open the corresponding app.
See notifications you havenʼt responded to. If you donʼt respond to a notification when it arrives, itʼs saved in Notification Center. A red dot at the top of your watch face shows you have an unread notification—swipe down to view it.
To scroll the notifications list, swipe up or down or turn the Digital Crown. To respond to a notification in the list, tap it.
Dismiss a notification. Swipe down on the notification, or scroll to the bottom of the notification, then tap Dismiss.

Clear notifications. Apple Watch removes notifications from the list after you tap to read them. To delete a notification without reading it, swipe it to the left, then tap Clear. To clear all notifications, firmly press the display, then tap Clear All.
Choose which notifications you get. On iPhone, go to Settings > Notifications to specify which apps and events generate notifications. By default, your notification settings on Apple Watch mirror your settings on iPhone. To choose different notification settings, open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Notifications, tap the app (for example, Messages), then tap Custom.
Silence notifications. To silence notifications on Apple Watch, swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center, then tap the Silent Mode button. You still feel a tap when a notification arrives. To prevent sound and taps, tap Do Not Disturb.
