Use the silent mode feature on your Samsung smartwatch.

Last Update date : 2023-09-14

Samsung Galaxy smartwatches offer a variety of functions to suit your needs wherever you are and whenever you need them. These include silent modes such as Do Not Disturb, Theater, and Bedtime. When you're in a movie theater, library, or getting ready for bed, these are wonderful because they can temporarily mute alerts, system sounds, and wake-up gestures.
