How to Turn Off Always On Display on Apple Watch
The Always On Display feature on the Apple Watch is a convenient feature that allows you to see the time and other important notifications at a glance, even when the watch is locked. However, some users may find it distracting or unnecessary, and would prefer to turn it off. In this article, we will guide you through the steps on how to turn off the Always On Display on your Apple Watch.
Step 1: Open the Watch App on Your iPhone
The first step to turning off the Always On Display is to open the Watch app on your iPhone. This app is where you can manage all the settings for your Apple Watch. If you haven’t already installed the Watch app, you can download it from the App Store.
Step 2: Navigate to the Always On Display Section
Once you have the Watch app open, tap on the “My Watch” tab at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to the settings for your Apple Watch. Scroll down and tap on “Always On Display” to access the settings for this feature.
Step 3: Toggle the Switch to Off
In the Always On Display section, you will see a switch labeled “Always On.” This is the setting that controls whether the Always On Display is enabled or disabled. To turn it off, simply toggle the switch to the left until it is greyed out.
Step 4: Confirm the Change
After toggling the switch, you may receive a prompt asking you to confirm your choice. Tap “Turn Off” to confirm that you want to disable the Always On Display feature.
Step 5: Restart Your Apple Watch
To ensure that the changes take effect, it’s a good idea to restart your Apple Watch. Press and hold the side button until the “Power Off” slider appears. Drag the slider to turn off your watch, and then press and hold the side button again to turn it back on.
Once your Apple Watch restarts, the Always On Display feature will be disabled, and you will no longer see the time and notifications on your watch face when it is locked. If you ever decide to turn it back on, simply follow the same steps to enable the feature again.
By following these simple steps, you can easily turn off the Always On Display on your Apple Watch and customize your watch experience to suit your preferences.
