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.
