How to Silence Your Apple Watch

By default, your Apple Watch vibrates and makes a small sound when you get a notification. But what if you don’t want that? You have a few options, depending on your situation, to silence the wearable.

Silent Mode

Silent Mode is quite straightforward and operates on the same lines as the iPhone. When you turn on Silent Mode, your Apple Watch will no longer make a sound when you get a notification, but you’ll still feel the subtle vibration from the Taptic Engine.

With the feature enabled, it’s your choice if you want to turn your wrist to see the notification. The slight vibration will be enough to alert you to a notification or call.

You can enable Silent Mode from the Control Center. When you’re viewing your watch face, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center.

Here, tap on the “Silent Mode” (bell-shaped) icon to enable the feature.

You can also disable vibration alerts from the Settings menu. Access this by pressing the Digital Crown while viewing the watch face and selecting “Settings” from the app grid or list. Next, go to the “Sounds & Haptics” section. Here, disable the “Haptic Alerts” feature.
