I watch 6 constantly on doesn’t go dark when wrist is lowered

Hi all


i have a iwatch 6 and it’s doesn’t seem to go dark when my wrist is lowered. It also keeps freezing and I have to hard reset it. On my previous iwatch I was also able to cover the screen with my palm and it would go dark? Are these features not available with the version 6?


thanks all

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

Thank you that helps. Is this the same for the other differences such as the feature of covering the screen to completely dimming it for a time?

thanks

Cover to Mute is used for silencing notifications when they happen.

When the option is enabled, Cover to Mute automatically places your watch into Silent Mode when you cover the display for at least 3 seconds immediately upon receiving an alert.

I do not think Cover to Mute was designed to dim the watch screen ever...
