Apple Watch顶部有许多称为“状态图标”或“状态符号”的图标。watchOS 显示超过 20 种不同的状态图标(over 20 different status icons)和不同颜色的符号，将不同的信息传递给用户。但是，由于Apple Watch(Apple Watches)的屏幕很小，因此状态图标并不完全具有描述性。
如果您的Apple Watch配对并连接到您的 iPhone，您通常会在Apple Watch的表面上发现一个红点。我们将解释红点的含义以及如何在Apple Watch上禁用它。
Apple Watch上的(Apple Watch)通知(Notifications)工作原理
默认情况下，如果您的 iPhone 处于锁定状态或睡眠状态， SMS或文本通知、活动提醒等会发送到您的Apple Watch 。当您收到这些通知时，您的 Apple Watch 应该会振动。(Apple Watch)抬起手腕会在Apple Watch 表盘(Apple Watch)上显示一段通知。单击通知会打开应用程序窗口，您可以在其中阅读通知的完整内容。
Apple Watch(My Apple Watch)上的红点(Red Dot)是什么？
Apple Watch上的红点是一个简单的提醒或状态图标，指示未读消息或通知，供您在方便时查看。更准确地说，当Apple Watch(Apple Watch)的通知中心(Notification Center)有新条目时，红点会出现在表盘上，并且会一直保留到您查看通知为止。
(Swipe)从表盘顶部向下滑动并向上滑动以查看通知中心(Notification Center)。要从其他屏幕或应用程序打开通知中心(Notification Center)，请按住屏幕顶部并向下滑动通知中心(Notification Center)。

为什么要禁用Apple Watch上的红点(Red Dot)？
如果Apple Watch(Apple Watch)上的红点经常让您在开车或做重要事情时查看通知，那么通过隐藏红点来整理表盘有助于提高注意力。
此外，一些Apple Watch用户会将红点与其他在表盘上占据相同位置的红色状态图标混淆。禁用红点可以消除这种混乱。

What Is the Red Dot on Apple Watch (and How To Hide It)
The top of your Apple Watch hosts many icons known as “Status Iconѕ” or “Status Sуmbols.” watchOS disрlays over 20 different status icons and symbols of different colors that pass distinct information to its user. However, because Apple Watches have tiny screens, status icons aren’t exactly descriptive.
If your Apple Watch pairs and connects to your iPhone, you’ll often find a red dot on the Apple Watch face. We’ll explain what the red dot means and how to disable it on your Apple Watch.
How Notifications Work on Apple Watch
By default, notifications for SMS or texts, activity reminders, etc., are routed to your Apple Watch if your iPhone is locked or asleep. Your Apple Watch should vibrate when you receive these notifications. Raising your wrist will display a snippet of the notifications on the Apple Watch face. Clicking on a notification opens the app window where you can read the full content of the notification.
What Is the Red Dot On My Apple Watch?
The red dot on your Apple Watch is a simple reminder or status icon indicating unread messages or notifications for you to check at your convenience. More precisely, the red dot shows up on the watch face when there’s a new entry in your Apple Watch’s Notification Center and will remain until you view the notifications.
Swipe down from the top of the watch face and swipe back up to view the Notification Center. To open the Notification Center from other screens or apps, touch and hold the top of the screen and swipe down the Notification Center.
Note: You cannot access the Notification Center from your Apple Watch’s Home Screen. To open it, press the Digital Crown or launch an app.
Clearing all notifications will also remove the red dot from the watch face. Swipe down from the top of your Apple Watch face, scroll to the top of the Notification Center, and tap Clear All.
To delete notifications individually, open the Notification Center, swipe the notification (or grouped notifications) to the left, and tap the x icon.
The red icon will reappear on your Apple Watch when you get a new notification. You can disable the red dot on your watch face, even if you have unread notifications.
Why Should You Disable the Red Dot on Apple Watch?
If the red dot on your Apple Watch often leads you to check your notifications while driving or doing something important, decluttering your watch face by hiding the dot can help improve your focus.
Additionally, some Apple Watch users confuse the red dot with other red-colored status icons that occupy the same position on the watch face. Disabling the red dot can eliminate this confusion.
Hide or Remove Red Dot on Apple Watch
There are three ways to go about configuring the red dot behavior on your Apple Watch. You can make the change directly on your Apple Watch or from the Watch app on your iPhone. Turning off an app’s notifications will also hide red dots from the app.
The steps below apply to all Apple Watch models or series.
Remove the Red Dot From Apple Watch’s Settings Menu
Unlock your Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown to open the Home Screen, and follow the steps below.
- Tap the gear icon to launch the Settings app.
- Select Notifications.
- Toggle off Notifications Indicator.
Remove Apple Watch Red Dot From Your iPhone
You can remotely get rid of the notifications indicator from the Watch app (on your iPhone), but your Apple Watch has to be paired and connected to your iPhone.
Open the Watch app, head to the My Watch tab, select Notifications, and toggle off Notifications Indicator.
Disable Red Dot for Specific Apps
If you don’t want your Apple Watch to display the red dot notification for a particular app, you’ll have to disable system-wide notifications and alerts for the application.
Say you have apps A, B, and C installed on your Apple Watch, and you want the red dot indicator for only apps A and B. You can follow the steps below to disable system-wide notifications for app C.
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone and select Notifications in the “My Watch” tab.
- Select the app or activity whose notification you want to disable.
- Select Notifications Off.
To disable notifications for apps mirroring your iPhone notifications, select Custom to reveal more notification options and select Notifications Off.
Note: While all watchOS versions display the red dot when you have unread notifications in the Notification Center, only Apple Watches running watchOS 7 (or newer) have the option to disable the red dot status icon.
If you don’t find the option to disable the Notifications Indicator in your device’s settings menu, update your Apple Watch and check again.
On your Apple Watch, open the Settings app >General>Software Update> Download and Install.
To update your Apple Watch from your iPhone, launch the Watch app, head to My Watch > General > Software Update >Download and Install.
Remember to connect your Apple Watch to a Wi-Fi network and place it on the charger before installing a watchOS update. If you’re installing the update from your iPhone, place the Apple Watch on its charger and ensure it’s near your iPhone.
That’s About It
The red dot is the only status icon that Apple Watch users can turn off. It’s currently impossible to disable other status indicators. If you have Notifications Indicator enabled but don’t get the red dot, that’s because your Apple Watch isn’t receiving notifications.
