Option to activate to silence alarm by covering screen

Hi!

Is there anyway to activate the option to silence the alarm in the Apple Watch by covering the screen with the palm? I know that this option was removed with the last update, but I liked that feature a lot and was wondering if there is an option to activate it.

Thanks

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

Cover to Mute is still a feature on the Watch.

Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
Go to Sounds & Haptics
Toggle Cover to Mute on or off.

Hi Daa.veed,

thank you for your answer. I have noticed that I still have that option in Sounds & Haptics, and I have it activated and it works for every alert except for the alarms. That option was removed in the last update as I understood.

cheers!
