Apple Watch on DND phone not on DND

Hello

Can I have my Apple Watch on DND but keep my phone off DND? I don’t want to get alerts to my watch right now but I don’t want my phone on DND. I don’t want to turn off notifications on my watch because I’ll have to turn them all back on. Is there a quick way to have mr watch on DND but not my phone? Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

Hi there isainato1,


It sounds like you'd like to have your Apple Watch on Do Not Disturb, but keep your iPhone off of it. We'll be glad to assist.


You can check the Do Not Disturb settings on your Apple Watch by tapping the Watch app on your iPhone > My Watch tab > General > Do Not Disturb. You can choose to Mirror iPhone, or not there. When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications go to your iPhone.


As a workaround, you can turn on silent mode on your Apple Watch in Control Center. In the Watch app on your iPhone, tap Sounds & Haptics. You'll see the options for Haptic Alerts instead of the sound.


We hope this information is useful. Take care!
