Can we please get the ability to sync the iPhone and watch “silence mode”? (alien.top)

I just found out yesterday that there is no way to silence your Apple Watch when you silence your phone. And apparently, this has never been a feature!

HOW? Like, how on earth is this not an option to enable? Why with my text messages and basically every notification or app do I have the choice to “mirror the iPhone”, but when it comes to silencing your iPhone apparently it’s impossible to also silence the watch?

It seems so simple of a feature, yet here I am typing this post.

So can we all rally together and put in opinions, comments, suggestions, or tickets….whatever they are called to Apple to have a feature to have your Apple Watches silencing be tied directly to your iPhone? And since it is an option, if you don’t like it, then you don’t have to enable it. But for me, this would make things so much simpler. And I’m hoping if we all put in a ticket, then maybe they will actually implement it!!!!

Will y’all help with this?

I wouldn't want the Silence mode to sync between devices. I always have the Apple Watch in Silence mode, but I don't want the iPhone to be in that mode.

That is fine. I was nearly suggesting the option to “toggle” this feature on and off, depending on the user’s preferences. But I guess that flew over your head….

Thanks for an actual useful comment! I have already submitted my feedback. I was hoping by making this post, it would get other on this sub to submit feedback as well. But I think I overestimated Reddit.

Damn I thought it was enough to get tapped on the wrist, never wanted the thing to yell at me lol. I’d be just as happy if they ripped the speaker out of the watch, it’s not useful for me, most days
