I use the Live Activity on my iPhone - basically for following sports scores - but I want to stop the notifications from going to my Apple Watch and I don't want to turn off Live Activities all together. (They are cool on the iPhone - annoying on the Watch IMHO.)
Unfortunately there is no Apple TV app for the Watch and the only option is to turn off the notifications on my iPhone and then mirror that setting on the Watch.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Depends on the app. I use the MLB app for Live Activities and don't get push notifications on my Apple Watch.

You can also go into the Apple Watch app and turn off notifications for that app just on your watch.
 
Open TV and make sure you're on Home. Scroll down and tap Live Sports. Scroll all the way down and find "Manage" at the bottom... Uncheck whatever is checked.
Hopefully this works for everyone!

I tried what you suggested and NONE of the leagues/teams are checked on my iPhone. Also, if you install the Apple Sports app (like I did) the selection of teams/leagues is done in that app NOT the TV app on the iPhone. And from there I can remove all my favorite teams/leagues but that defeats the purpose. I like getting the Live Activities BUT on my iPhone. I don't need all the notifications to go to my Watch. and there is no way to stop that without turning OFF Live Activities.
