Apple Watch red dot signals unread notifications; users can manage alerts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A red dot appearing on an Apple Watch screen indicates that there are unread notifications. Users can access these notifications by pressing and holding the watch face to open the Notification Center, where they can be read or dismissed individually. All notifications can be cleared at once by tapping a 'Clear All' button. For those who wish to disable the red dot indicator entirely, the setting can be turned off within the Apple Watch app on an iPhone. Additionally, users can mute or completely turn off notifications for specific apps, or choose to have them sent directly to the Notification Center without an alert. AI
