Tap the switch next to Notifications Indicator to turn the feature off. You'll still get a vibration or a tone when notifications come in (depending on whether you've silenced your Apple Watch), but you won't have the constant reminder at the top of the watch face. <h2> What Does the Red Dot on Apple Watch Mean </h2> The red dot on an Apple Watch screen appears when you have unread notifications and the Notification Indicator setting in the Watch app is active.

Then, tap the image that looks like a bell with a line through it to turn on Silent Mode. Alternatively, open the Watch app on the iPhone you&#39;ve synced to your watch and go to Sounds &amp; Haptics and tap the switch next to Silent Mode. What is notification grouping on the Apple Watch?

Notification grouping is a setting available for certain apps. When it&#39;s active, your Notification Center will combine all of the alerts from that app in a single window instead of listing each of them individually. To turn it on, open the Watch app, and then go to Notifications and select an app.
