Introduction
If you’ve recently updated apple watch to watchOS 7 or later, you might have noticed a new green light that sometimes appears on the display. So what is this green light, and why is it there?
The green light is actually an infrared sensor that’s used to detect the presence of a nearby person. When the sensor detects someone, it will turn on the Watch’s raise-to-wake feature so that the screen will turn on when you raise your wrist.
The reason for this is that watchOS 7 includes a new feature called Face Sharing, which lets you share your apple watch faces with other people. When Face Sharing is enabled, the Watch will automatically send your face to anyone nearby who also has Face Sharing enabled.
To turn Face Sharing off, go to the Settings app on apple watch and select Privacy > Face Sharing.
What the Green Light Means
The green light on apple watch means that Do Not Disturb is turned on. Do Not Disturb silences all incoming calls and notifications so that you can focus on what you’re doing.
There are three ways to turn Do Not Disturb on or off: manually, by schedule, or by location. You can also set up Do Not Disturb to turn on automatically when you go to bed.
If you want to be able to see your watch face while Do Not Disturb is turned on, you can enable the Raise to Wake feature. With Raise to Wake turned on, simply lifting your wrist will cause the watch face to light up.
If you receive a phone call while Do Not Disturb is turned on, you’ll feel a haptic tap (a vibration) and see a notification on your watch face. To silence the call and send it straight to voicemail, tap the Dismiss button.
How to Turn Off the Green Light
The green light on your Apple Watch is designed to be a visual indication that your watch is charging. However, some users have reported that the light stays on even when their watch is fully charged. If this happens to you, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue.
First, make sure that your watch is fully charged. If it is, then try unplugging and replugging the charging cable. If that doesn’t work, try restarting your watch. To do this, press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider appear on the screen. Drag the slider to turn off your watch, then press and hold the side button again to turn it back on.
If none of those steps work, then you may need contact apple support for further assistance.
