How do I top the news notifications on my watch. I have gone into the watch app and unchecked "News" so it will not mirror but keep getting a "bing" sound and my news that I have selected. Want it on the phone but not the watch.
Thanks
Do you have any other news apps on your phone? I have several, both local and national, so had to disable notifications for all of the ones I didn't want to mirror to the watch, otherwise I was getting a dozen notifications every time another celebrity died![]()
Try settings,notifications,then scroll to the app you want to stop,and turn off notifications.
That is just it. I want it to still show notifications on my iPhone, I do not want them pushed to my watch and "bing" me on the watch.
Well,that's one of the things smart watches for. Guess the easiest for you is to trade in the watch and buy a fitness measure band instead. The Apple Watch is designed to let you read notifications with the phone in your pocket,if you don't want that,the watch is just a very overpriced fitness band,you should have looked up this before just running off to buy one.That is just it.

That for those words of wisdom.
LOL! That is what I want is to read the messages from news and not have them "bing" to alert me.
Gosh if I had only done my homework!![]()
Just go to notifications on your Apple Watch and turn off which apps you don't want notifications on your watch
I am sure you know you can silence the bings, by placing the watch in silent mode and only getting the haptics, but of course that is universal. If you want it to bing for other reasons, that would be silenced as well.
But since you seem to have issues other than the news notification bings (stand count), have you tried resetting the AW and setting it up as new rather than restoring from a backup?
I had an odd issue last month that was resolved by doing that and it has been good since.
Thanks for your reply. I have reset my AW multiple times and do not use the back-up as it only takes a minute of so to set up the watch face like I want it and it and the other problems continue.
You are right and I need some of the "bings" like my alarm system and Ring doorbell/camera. Next step is to go and delete all my news stuff from my 7+.
Thanks
Bummer. I wonder if deleting News and re-installing it would help in it behaving properly?
