How to Change Sounds on Apple Watch
Unfortunately, you cannot change the ringtone on your Apple Watch. Although it has various useful features as a smartwatch, Apple has yet to integrate a feature where you can change the ringtone on your Apple Watch.
You can only listen to its preset ringtones on each call, message, or notification. If you’re tired of getting a “ding!” on each alert, you can change its volume or mute it when your smartwatch gets too distracting.
To change the volume on your Apple Watch, follow these steps:
- Turn on your Apple Watch and navigate to the Settings app.
- Choose Sounds & Haptics and tap the Volume Down icon on the left to decrease the volume, or tap the Volume Up button on the right to increase the volume.
