short looks on apple watch

Hello jbtech5,

It sounds like you may be speaking of the notifications on your Apple Watch. This article tells you how to enable notifications and customize them on your Apple Watch:

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 don't see notifications on your Apple Watch

When your devices disconnect, your notifications go to your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. To check your connection, swipe up on the watch face to open Control Center. If your devices are disconnected, you might see the red iPhone icon , the red X icon , or the Wi-Fi icon . Try to connect your iPhone and Apple Watch.

When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications go to your iPhone:

* When your Apple Watch is locked, the lock icon  appears on the watch face.

* When Do Not Disturb is on, the Do Not Disturb icon  appears on the watch face. To turn this feature off, swipe up on the watch face, then tap the Do Not Disturb button .

For third-party apps, notifications are delivered only if your paired iPhone is also connected to a network. 

Also:

Keep notifications private

When you raise your wrist to see a notification, you see a quick summary, then full details a few seconds later. To stop the full details from appearing in the notification:

1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap the My Watch tab. 

2. Tap Notifications, then turn on Tap to Show Full Notification. 

3. When you get a notification, tap it to see the full details. 

Whether your Apple Watch is locked or unlocked, you see notification summaries, or short looks, by default. A short look is a single screen that shows the notifying app’s name and icon along with the notification title. You can choose to turn off short looks when Apple Watch is locked:

1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap the My Watch tab. 

2. Tap Notifications, then turn off Show Summary When Locked.

Best Regards.
