Is your Apple Watch screaming for attention? This is how you put the smartwatch on silent

The Apple Watch isn’t just a handy gadget to monitor your health or control audio from your wrist. It is of course also an excellent means of staying informed of everything that is happening on your iPhone. Whether you’re receiving messages through your favorite chat application, sports scores or a phone call, your Apple Watch keeps track of it all.

However, there are times when such notifications just don’t come out so well. Those moments when it’s nice if your smartwatch just stays still for a while. But how exactly do you do that?

Silence your Apple Watch in several ways

Just like your iPhone and iPad, you can easily mute your Apple Watch. You do need to know how to do that though. Especially considering Apple’s smartwatch has several ways in which it can be silent. For example, it is not only possible to turn off the sound, but there is also a theater mode and a do not disturb function.

How exactly do they work? I explain that to you with all my love!

Activate silent mode

Silent mode ensures, just like on your iPhone, that all audio notifications are kept silent. So you still get vibrations on your arm and actually see the notification. But he no longer makes noise.

To set this mode, follow these steps:

• Swipe from bottom to top on your Apple Watch
• Scroll down until you find the bell
• Tap it to make it red

Do not disturb on your Apple Watch

If you want to completely relax, you can turn on the do not disturb function on your smartwatch. Not only do notifications disappear in the audio field, but they also do not appear on the screen. The only notification you actually get is that of your alarm clock.

To enable Do Not Disturb, follow these steps:

• Swipe from bottom to top on your Apple Watch
• Look for the half man icon
• Press it to activate it

Ideal for the theater or cinema

If you’re in the theater or a cinema, you obviously don’t want to bother people with your Apple Watch. Fortunately, a special theater mode has been created to fully adapt your smartwatch to that situation. It not only neutralizes all notifications, but also ensures that the display is muted. The only notifications you get are vibrations.

To activate the special mode, follow these steps:

• Swipe up on your Apple Watch
• Look for the icon with the theater masks
• Press to activate the functionality

No vibrations on your Apple Watch

Don’t you mind sounds or notifications, but the vibrations on your wrist drive you crazy? Then it is good to know that you can also switch off the haptic feedback of your Apple Watch.

You do this by following the steps below:

• On your Apple Watch, go to settings
• Select Hear and feel
• Look for the heading To feel
