I am in need of an app that will vibrate the watch. The only thing that I have found would be the alarm on my iPhone but don't want the noise it makes. The fitbit has vibrating alarms which come in handy. Just looking for something similar from my new watch. Thanks.
Hi
The built-in Reminders app on iPhone can be configured to deliver vibration / haptic alerts on Apple Watch without any sound.
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Notifications > Reminders:
- Select Custom;
- Turn on each of Show Alerts and Haptic;
- Turn off Sound.
More information:
Keep in mind that how notifications behave depends on the status of your devices. In order to bring notifications to your attention as soon as possible, when Wrist Detection is enabled:
- If your iPhone is unlocked, you will receive notifications on your iPhone instead of on your watch.
- If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your watch is unlocked (regardless of whether the watch screen is asleep or awake) and on your wrist, you will receive notifications on your watch.
- If your watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, notifications will go to your iPhone.
More information:
Although there is no Reminders app on Apple Watch, your watch will notify you of reminders that have been created:
- In the Reminders app on your iPhone;
- On any other iOS device or Mac computer that is signed in to your Apple ID (when iCloud Reminders is enabled on all devices).
New reminders can also be created quickly and easily by using Siri on your Apple Watch. For example: "Hey Siri, remind me <when> to <what>".
I set the settings on the watch app like you said. Then I set up a test reminder on my iPhone but nothing happened. What did I do wrong?
Thanks for the help.
