How do I turn off notifications for third-party apps on Apple Watch 10


To turn off notifications for third-party apps on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:

Using the Apple Watch App on iPhone

1. Open the Apple Watch App: Launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate to Notifications: Tap on the "My Watch" tab at the bottom, then select "Notifications."
3. Select the App: Scroll down to find the third-party app you want to manage and tap on it.
4. Customize Notifications:
- Allow Notifications: To receive notifications, ensure this is enabled.
- Send to Notification Center: This option allows notifications to be sent directly to Notification Center without alerting you on your watch.
- Notifications Off: Select this option to completely turn off notifications for that app on your Apple Watch.

5. Disable Mirroring: If you want to stop mirroring notifications from your iPhone, turn off the "Mirror iPhone Alerts From" setting for that specific app[2][3][8].

Directly on Your Apple Watch

1. Access Notification Center: Swipe down from the top of the watch face to open Notification Center.
2. Manage Notifications: Swipe left on a notification from a third-party app and tap the X icon or other options like "Mute for Today" or "Mute 1 Hour" to silence notifications temporarily[2][3].

Additional Tips

- Restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch after making changes to ensure they take effect properly[1].
- If you continue receiving unwanted notifications, double-check that you have turned off notifications in both the Apple Watch app and directly on your watch.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage and disable notifications from third-party applications on your Apple Watch.
