However, it\u2019s recommended to keep the list of apps that can give you notifications to a minimum. This will help you avoid unnecessary distractions and it will cut down on power consumption.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"How_to_Clear_All_Notifications\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>How to Clear All Notifications<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unlike the iPhone, users can clear all the notifications on the Apple Watch at once. If you don\u2019t want to delete all the notifications at once, you can choose to clear specific ones. Keep in mind that, when you remove any notification on your watch, it automatically disappears from the iPhone too. To remove notifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">On the Apple Watch, click the\u00a0<em>Digital Crown<\/em>\u00a0to go to the watch face, if you are not already there.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Swipe down from the top of the watch face to bring up the\u00a0<em>Notification Center<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Then, you need to scroll to the notification you want to remove.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Next, swipe from right to left to bring up the X button.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Tap on this X button to remove the notification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to clean up all the notifications at once to free up space on your watch, you should proceed by following the above mentioned steps and then do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press firmly on the screen.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">When the X button appears on the screen, tap on it to clear all the notifications at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can repeat these steps to keep the <em>Notification Center<\/em> cleared.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"How_to_Enable_Notifications_on_the_Apple_Watch_and_iPhone\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>How to Enable Notifications on the Apple Watch and iPhone<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In order to have notifications enabled on the iPhone and Apple Watch, you need to turn off wrist detection on the smartwatch. To do this, open the Apple Watch companion app on your iPhone. Then fo to:\u00a0<em>Apple Watch app &gt; General &gt; Wrist Detection<\/em>. Now toggle this option to off, ignore the warning, and you\u2019re good to go. If notifications do not arrive on both devices just yet, reboot them, and that should solve the problem.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Troubleshooting_Notifications_on_Apple_Watch\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Troubleshooting Notifications on Apple Watch<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Sometimes your Apple Watch fails to show you notifications for unknown reasons. There are some possible solutions:<\/p>\n<p>Customized Notifications: On Apple Watch, notifications are set up to reflect your iPhone settings. In other words, if you have set up the iPhone Mail app to notify you only of\u00a0Office\u00a0emails, you can see only\u00a0Office\u00a0email notifications on your Apple Watch. You should check the settings to see if this is the case.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Launch the <em>Watch<\/em> app on the iPhone \u2013 Tap on the\u00a0<em>My Watch<\/em>\u00a0tab, tap on\u00a0Notifications,\u00a0and then tap on app.<\/li>\n<li>If you want the app\u2019s notification settings to reflect the settings on your iPhone, tap\u00a0Mirror my iPhone. However, if you want to use different notification settings for your Apple Watch, tap\u00a0<em>Custom<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Cover to <em>Mute Option<\/em>: Open the <em>Apple Watch<\/em> App on your iPhone and tap on\u00a0<em>My Watch<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Once there,\u00a0under the <em>Sounds and Haptics\u00a0<\/em>section, you will find the\u00a0<em>Cover to Mute<\/em>\u00a0option. Turn the\u00a0<em>Cover to Mute<\/em> option OFF. After turning this option off, you will start getting notifications on your Apple Watch. Now, you can turn the option ON.<\/li>\n<li><em>Wrist Detection:<\/em> Turn off the\u00a0<em>Wrist Watch Detection<\/em>\u00a0option by launching the\u00a0Watch app\u00a0on the iPhone, tapping <em>My Watch<\/em>, and then tapping\u00a0<em>General<\/em>.\u00a0Then, turn off the\u00a0<em>Wrist Detection\u00a0<\/em>option.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that your Apple Watch is not on\u00a0<em>Do Not Disturb<\/em>\u00a0mode. If it is, the system will send all notifications to your iPhone and not to your Apple watch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you will get all notifications on your Apple Watch.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Links\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\"><strong>Links<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Looking where to sell your old Apple Watch?
