Watch app on your iPhone. In the My
Watch tab, tap on Sound & Haptics. You’ll
find the toggle there.- SEND A CALL TO
VOICE MAIL
Got a call coming in and don’t want to
answer it? Double-tap the side button (not
the digital crown) to send a call straight to
voice mail. It’s the same as double-tapping
the side button on your iPhone. - ANSWER AN INCOMING
CALL ON iPHONE
When a call comes in, swipe up instead of
hitting the hang up or answer buttons. Tap
Answer on iPhone. That will answer the
call so you don’t miss it, but place it on
hold on your iPhone. Tap the green button
on your iPhone to answer the call. - DOUBLE-CLICK THE CROWN
TO SWITCH TO THE LAST APP
Hop between your current app (or the
watch face) and the last app you had open
by double-tapping the digital crown. It’s
just like double-tapping the Home button
on iPhones and iPads that have one.

the entire watch with the palm of your
hand.
If you got an alert and you want to
silence it, and enable mute so alerts don’t
make sound, hold your palm over the
watch face for three seconds or so. You’ll
feel a tap to let you know it’s muted.
