What is theater mode on apple watch?

Here's some information about Theater Mode on Apple Watch:

Theater Mode on your Apple Watch is a feature designed to prevent accidental screen activations and silence notifications during performances, movies, or other situations where you need to be discreet.

How it Works:

  • Screen: When Theater Mode is enabled, the screen remains dark unless you tap it, press a button, or turn the Digital Crown. This prevents the screen from lighting up when you raise your wrist.
  • Silent Mode: Theater Mode also automatically enables Silent Mode, so you won't receive any audible alerts or notifications. However, you will still feel haptic feedback (vibrations) unless you have disabled haptics separately.

How to Enable/Disable:

  • Control Center: The easiest way to toggle Theater Mode is through the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to access the Control Center, then tap the icon that looks like two masks.
  • Siri: You can also ask Siri to turn Theater Mode on or off.
