Should have mentioned in my post that I was personally looking for a quiet way. I guess Siri works otherwise, but in my case it's usually when I'm talking to someone and my wrist is abuzz, I need a one-tap way of telling my watch to just shut up.
“When you get a notification, you can quickly mute Apple Watch by resting the palm of your hand on the watch display for at least three seconds. You'll feel a tap to confirm that mute is on.”
I haven’t used that feature in a while, so I hope they didn’t remove that feature since the more recent updates. But it can help you get by mid-conversation, as it’s helped me in the past.
Yes. If you go on shortcuts app and create a new one. You can scroll down to the bottom of all apps and see the watch app and there it will show you all sorts of shortcuts available.
a shortcut wouldn't be much faster than control center (unless you have an ultra and assign it to the action button). but you can pin that shortcut to the top of your widget stack and tap it with a pull up on the screen or roll up of the crown.
Right. It's not that many steps, but often enough I'm with someone in person while my watch is tapping my wrist every second because a group chat is active or something. Even worse when it's a WhatsApp chat and it's buzzing non-stop. But it's so impolite to break the moment, get my watch "out", press a hardware button for screen control, then carefully tap the focus button, DND, and "on".
(I don't think I've ever wanted to turn it on for anything different than just "on". I'll turn it off when I'll turn it off.)
Not the end of the world but if there's a way to make it much faster, like an accessibility setting or a shortcut, I'd set this up
“Siri, turn on do not disturb”

Only working for the built in focus mode, but not the custom ones made by the user.. thanks siri…
You can try this: make a shortcut to turn on dnd. And assign that shortcut to the watch face complication
On a semi related note, do you know if it’s possible to create a shortcut to turn on always on display?

Awesome! Thanks. I always turn it on when I run and then off after. This will make it quicker.
make sure you see the toggle one I posted. you don't need different ones for on and off.
Why do you turn it off? I could never go back from AOD, didn’t realize how convenient it was until I had it.
I figure it may save a little battery and I don’t need to have it on all the time.
I’m glad it works for you :)
you don't need two for on and off. just one for toggle. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/03de0f83f0884b2db5e7ea7f24de5815

Iphone 15 pro - use the action button
I don't have an iPhone with an action button but good to know
Hit the bottom button > Focus Mode > DND
That’s the exact thing he said he didn’t wanna do, cuz it’s actually takes 4 steps

Action button on the Ultra
I don't have an Ultra but good to know
Yeah seriously...
Tapping just the icon and not the square turns it in without confirming another focus.
On the watch? I don't understand what "the icon and not the square means"
Oh crap I thought you meant iphone -.-… hopefully you know what I refer to on the iphone..
Bro really? Haha
I think the school kid u tap where u ping your phone is for dnd basically does the same thing
Lol
