How to Quickly Turn Off Annoying Notifications on Apple Watch

Apple Watch vibrates when your iPhone vibrates by default. However, what if you wish to disable certain app notifications on your Apple Watch? This is something you can accomplish directly from your wrist.

Apple Watch now has the ability to silence and mute notifications directly from the Notification Center, thanks to watchOS 5. Deliver Quietly operates the same way it does on your iPhone. When enabled, your Apple Watch won’t vibrate or buzz, but the notifications will appear in the Notification Center.

If you simply want a selection of notifications (perhaps only the most critical ones) on your Apple Watch, you can also turn off notifications for a certain app.

To get started, swipe down from your Apple Watch’s watch face to uncover the Notification Center.

When you need to take a break, the Deliver Quietly option is ideal. This option is synced with your iPhone, and you may also adjust it from the iPhone’s Notification Center.

You might choose to revert to your default behavior after a period of silence. You can do so by swiping left on the notice and tapping the Menu icon to view the options. There’s now a “Deliver Prominently” option here. It should be tapped.
