The watch keep vibrating after pressing the crown. Then the app icons keep flickering and shrinking to a tiny dot.

Hi, Keith4774.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We’re glad you decided to reach out about the issue you’re experiencing on your Apple Watch. It sounds like pressing the Digital Crown on the side is causing an unknown vibration and then shrinking the contents of the screen to the tiny white dot in your photo. We’d like to learn more about what you’re attempting to do when you press the Digital Crown to see if we can help.


The top of this page will outline the functions of the crown. Which of these are you attempting to invoke? For example, is it possible this is happening when you’re attempting to zoom, but it is zooming out too far?

If you haven’t already, we suggest restarting both your Apple Watch and companion iPhone to see if it continues.

We also suggest removing it from the case to test and see if it’s possible the case is interfering with the function of the Digital Crown.


All our best.
