Good evening. Thank you for trying to help me. The issue is that my Apple Watch does not have the Teams app installed on it. So I am not able to customize or mirror my phone. The notifications just started after I updated and there seems to be no way to stop them. I want receive them on my phone only, not on my watch. The only way to stop them on my watch is to turn off all notifications, which means I don’t get them on my phone now. I have tried going directly into teams but I have found nothing. I have attached the screen shot of my apps on my watch. It would be great if someone could help me stop these annoying notifications all day while I work 😊

Hello RMathewson,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you. The way your Apple Watch receives notifications is based on your settings. Do you have your notifications set up to mirror your iPhone or have you customized them? You can review full details about Apple Watch notifications here: Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Customize your Apple Watch notification settings

1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap the My Watch tab. 
2. Tap Notifications. 
3. Tap an app to see its options. To use the same notification settings on apps that appear on both your Apple Watch and iPhone, tap Mirror my iPhone. Some apps allow you to customize your notifications. Tap Custom, then choose an option:
- Allow Notifications: Notifications appear in Notification Center and your Apple Watch alerts you. 
- Send to Notification Center: Notifications are sent directly to Notification Center without your Apple Watch alerting you.
- Notifications Off: The app sends no notifications.

4. If you customize an app's notifications, you can also group notifications from that app. Tap Notification grouping, then choose an option: Off, Automatically, or By App.

Some apps offer further customization, while others only let you turn off Apple Watch notifications completely. Scroll down to the Mirror iPhone Alerts From section and turn off the setting next to the app. 


If you have selected to mirror your iPhone, you might want to try customizing notifications to see if that helps with this unwanted notification.


Best regards.

RMathewson,


Thank you for getting back to us. You say that you do not have Microsoft Teams installed on your Apple Watch. Do you have that app installed on your iPhone? If so, you may want to touch base with Microsoft support to see what options are available within the app to send notifications to the Apple Watch and how to disable those notifications.


Regards.
