How to Effectively Silence Apple Watch Keyboard Notifications
Apple Watch is an incredibly valuable tool that can help you stay connected, organized, and healthy. But one of the more annoying features of the Apple Watch is the keyboard notification. This notification can pop up at any time, even when you’re not using the keyboard, and it can be very distracting.
If you find yourself constantly getting annoyed by the keyboard notification, there are a few things you can do to silence it.
The Dreaded Keyboard Notification
The keyboard notification is a small, rectangular box that appears on the screen of your Apple Watch. It contains a message that says “Keyboard open” and a button that says “Close.” When you tap the button, the keyboard will close and the notification will go away.
The keyboard notification can be triggered by any number of things, including:
- Opening the Messages app
- Tapping on a text field in any app
- Using the Dictation feature
- Using the Scribble feature
If you find that you are constantly getting the keyboard notification, it can be very frustrating. It can interrupt your workflow, and it can be embarrassing if you’re in a public place.
Silencing the Keyboard Notification
There are two ways to silence the keyboard notification on your Apple Watch:
- Turn off keyboard haptics. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and tap on “Sounds & Haptics.” Scroll down and tap on “Keyboard Haptics.” Turn off the switch next to “Haptic Feedback.”
- Disable the keyboard shortcut. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch and tap on “General.” Scroll down and tap on “Keyboard.” Turn off the switch next to “Keyboard Shortcut.”
Once you have turned off keyboard haptics or disabled the keyboard shortcut, the keyboard notification will no longer appear.
Additional Tips
In addition to the two methods listed above, there are a few other things you can do to reduce the number of times you see the keyboard notification:
- Use a different keyboard app. There are a number of third-party keyboard apps available for the Apple Watch. Some of these apps offer features that can help you reduce the number of times the keyboard notification appears.
- Be more mindful of when you use the keyboard. If you’re not using the keyboard, close it. This will prevent the keyboard notification from appearing.
- Use Dictation or Scribble instead of the keyboard. Dictation and Scribble are two features that allow you to input text without using the keyboard. This can help you reduce the number of times the keyboard notification appears.
