I am trying to get my watch to mute when I flick the switch to mute on my iPhone. I saw an old forum post that said how to do it, but the setting it mentioned is my in the Watch app anymore.
I'd love some direction on how to get this set up. I’m really getting tired of muting my phone to take a nap, only for my wrist to keep blowing up.

2 ways
On iPhone control centre tap focus and turn on Do Not Disturb which should be mirrored on the Watch
or
Press watch long side button briefly to bring up control centre then tap the bell symbol to turn it red

As far as I know the Mute function on an iPhone has always been controlled by a physical switch, and there has never been an electronic over-ride. This has changed slightly in the last few weeks with the introduction of the Action Button in iPhone 15 Pro, but the Mute function still appears to be local to each individual device. Even in the latest software there is no configuration to enable, and Mute is not propagated between iPhone 15 pro and Apple Watch.
I suspect you were thinking of the Do Not Disturb function, or Airplane mode. Both can be linked and mirrored between a paired watch and iPhone.
Having the ability to mirror Mute between devices would be nice, but on current models it would only be available for the iPhone 15 Pro range which uses electronic switching.

Thanks for that, it's better than nothing. But one of the old resolutions said there was a setting to turn it one when the mute switch was flipped, which is vastly preferable to me. The issue is, that setting seems to have been moved, and I can't find it.
