What options are available for notification grouping on Apple Watch 10


Apple Watch 10 offers several options for managing notification grouping, allowing users to customize how notifications are displayed. Here are the available options:

Notification Grouping Options

1. Off: This setting disables notification grouping for the selected app, meaning notifications will appear individually without any organization.

2. Automatically: With this option, watchOS uses machine learning to group notifications based on their nature or context. For example, notifications from a news app might be grouped by the channels you follow, such as different news sources. This is the default setting for most apps[1][2][4].

3. By App: This setting consolidates all notifications from a specific app into a single stack. This can be particularly useful for apps where you receive many notifications, allowing you to view them all at once without cluttering your notification center[1][3][5].

How to Change Notification Grouping

To adjust these settings for individual apps on your Apple Watch:

- Open the Watch app on your paired iPhone.
- Tap on the My Watch tab at the bottom left.
- Select Notifications.
- Choose the specific app you want to customize.
- Tap on Notification Grouping and select your preferred option (Off, Automatically, By App) from the list[1][2][3].

These grouping options help streamline notifications, making it easier to manage alerts and reducing clutter on your Apple Watch's interface.
