Why Do I Keep Getting Apple Watch Keyboard Notifications?
If you own an Apple Watch, you might have noticed that it occasionally sends you notifications about the keyboard. This can be a bit confusing, especially if you’re not actively using the keyboard. In this blog post, we’ll explore the various reasons why you might be receiving these notifications and explain how to disable them.
One possibility is that you have enabled the “Dictation” feature on your Apple Watch. When dictation is turned on, your Apple Watch will listen for you to speak and transcribe your words into text. This can be helpful when you’re sending a text message or email, but it can also lead to unwanted keyboard notifications.
Disabling Dictation
To disable dictation, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and tap on “General.” Then, tap on “Dictation” and toggle off the switch next to “Enable Dictation.” You can also disable the keyboard notifications by tapping on “Notifications” and toggling off the switch next to “Keyboard.”
Another possible reason for the keyboard notifications is that you have enabled the “Scribble” feature. Scribble allows you to write letters and numbers on your Apple Watch’s screen, which can be easier than using the keyboard. However, it can also lead to unwanted keyboard notifications.
Disabling Scribble
To disable Scribble, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and tap on “General.” Then, tap on “Scribble” and toggle off the switch next to “Enable Scribble.” You can also disable the keyboard notifications by tapping on “Notifications” and toggling off the switch next to “Keyboard.”
If you’re still receiving keyboard notifications after disabling dictation and Scribble, there’s a chance that there’s a bug in your Apple Watch’s software. In this case, you can try restarting your Apple Watch. To do this, press and hold the side button until the power off slider appears. Then, drag the slider to the right to turn off your Apple Watch. After a few seconds, press and hold the side button again to turn your Apple Watch back on.
If you’re still having problems with keyboard notifications, you can contact Apple Support for assistance.
