The Google Pixel Watch is a pretty good first attempt from Google, at a smartwatch. But it’ll still notify you on your wrist, even when you’re on your phone. Luckily, Google has added a way for you to mute notifications on your phone and on your watch depending on if you are using your phone or wearing your watch. So that’s what we’ll be explaining how to do today.
Google does not offer a way to fully mute all notifications on your Pixel Watch, at least not yet. You could turn off every app from notifying you. However, you would need to go through and manually turn off each app. Which can be fairly annoying, and time consuming.
How to mute notifications on Google Pixel Watch
Open the Google Pixel Watch app on your phone.
Now find and tap on Notifications.
Next, tap on Mute notifications, it’ll be the second to last option on this page.
Here, you’ll find a few options for muting notifications. Unfortunately, you are unable to fully mute notifications on your watch. But you are able to make your watch buzz as often.
Here are the options available:
- Phone
- Mute phone calls: Don’t ring/vibrate calls on the phone while wearing the watch.
- Mute notifications: Don’t ring/vibrate notifications on your phone while wearing watch.
- Watch
- Mute notifications: Don’t ring/vibrate notifications on your watch while using phone.
- Hide silent notifications: You won’t see silent notifications on your watch.
You can choose to turn all four of these on, or just a couple. The two options for the watch, I think are definitely necessary. You don’t really need your watch buzzing, when you’re on your phone and can see (and deal with) the notification right there. And of course, silent notifications aren’t important enough to buzz your wrist.
But that’s how you can mute notifications on your Google Pixel Watch.
