How To Turn Up And Turn Down Volume On Apple Watch?

To adjust the volume on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:

Turn Up and Turn Down Volume

  1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Sounds & Haptics.
  3. To lower the volume, tap the lower volume symbol to the left of the slider or turn the Digital Crown in a counterclockwise direction.
  4. To increase the volume, tap the upper volume symbol to the right of the slider or turn the Digital Crown in a clockwise direction.

An alternative method using the Control Center:

  1. Press the side button (for watchOS 9 or earlier, touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up).
  2. Tap the volume buttons to lower or raise the volume.

Please note that adjusting the volume during a phone call might rely more on your paired iPhone's settings. Turning the Digital Crown may not directly adjust call volume as experienced in one user's case (referenced in the discussion thread).

For iPhone users who prefer to manage the volume from their phone, the following steps will adjust the alert volume on your Apple Watch:

  1. On your iPhone, open the Watch app.
  2. Scroll down to the Sounds & Haptics section and tap to open.
  3. Use the slider under "Alert Volume" to adjust the volume.

If you want to put your Apple Watch on silent mode, toggle the "Silent Mode" option just under "Alert Volume" on the Watch app (only on iPhone), ensuring the bar is turned green.
