Apple Watch - Do Not Disturb

Enable Do Not Disturb when your really busy.

How do you set the Do Not Disturb on the Watch when you're at a meeting or at a Church service?

Use the "Do Not Disturb Feature." This also comes in handy when working out. Because the last thing you need is to get is a political notification from Bloomberg in the middle of a 5k run.

The following steps works in watchOS 5.2.1.

How to manually enable Do Not Disturb on your Apple Watch

DND Watch

  • Tap on the Watch Face
  • Swipe up to bring up Control Center.
  • Tap on the Do Not Disturb button. (The icon looks like a quarter Moon)
  • In the list that appears, choose a duration for Do Not Disturb.
  • To turn off Do Not Disturb, repeat the same steps.

Try It Now

I would suggest trying a couple of times, just so that you can get use to the how to pause notifications.

 

About

In September 2018, I got my first Apple Watch (Apple Watch Series 3). I have been thinking about getting an Apple Watch for years, but never really thought it would be something that I would use.

On Tuesdays in May, I'll post some cool features/functionality using the Apple Watch. These are things that I have learned along the way to make me want to wear it every day.
