The two devices are automatically synchronized so notifications appearing on your phone are identical to the ones on your wrist. Apple even makes sure you don't receive double the number of notifications from both devices — as that may drive you insane.

We show you how to control notifications on your watch so that you have the latest information on important events and alerts but are not overwhelmed by non-urgent details. If Do Not Disturb is on or your watch is locked, notifications then go directly to your iPhone.

While this guide focuses on iOS 16 and WatchOS 9, many steps are similar for earlier operating system versions. <h2>Set up Apple Watch notifications on your iPhone</h2>
The iPhone offers an array of options that let you customize how, when, and from which apps you receive notifications. For most apps, you can enable or disable notifications, let an app send notifications directly to the notification center, specify how notifications are grouped together, group notifications by specific apps, or let your devices generate notification groups automatically.

You can manage notifications directly on your Apple Watch. You may see a range of choices, including Mute, Add to summary, Turn off time sensitive, Turn off, and Allow notifications. You will not see every choice in each instance because commands reference your existing settings.

<h2>Control Apple Watch notification summaries</h2>

If you own a pair of second-generation or newer AirPods or certain Beats wireless headphones models, Siri can read notifications out loud to you via your Apple Watch. Make sure to first pair your AirPods or your headphones via Settings > Bluetooth from your iPhone.
