Can a setting on my watch silence calls on the phonewhen the switch on my phone is not set to silent? I may have inadvertently caused this without realizing what I did. Thanks

Hello Gcole218,

If you have Focus set up on your iPhone and have Share Across Devices enabled, this can be what is causing your iPhone to be silent if your enable Do Not Disturb on your Apple Watch. If you're not enabling this feature on your Apple Watch, let us know how you're setting your Apple Watch to be silent.

We've shared some resources below to help understand Focus and Do Not Disturb:

Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Status icons and symbols on Apple Watch

We hope this helps.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
