Apple Watch Notification Control

The Apple Watch is a highly capable smartwatch that not only tracks your fitness activities, but also keeps you connected with your digital life. One of its key features is the ability to receive notifications from your iPhone directly on your wrist. However, managing these notifications is essential for a distraction-free experience.

2. Scroll down and tap on "Notifications."
3. You will see a list of all the apps installed on your iPhone that can send notifications to your Apple Watch. Tap on the desired app.
