While it’s not possible to directly disable this feature on your Apple Watch, turning off the annoying pop-up notification can be done directly from your iPhone settings. To do this:
-
Go to your App Drawer.
-
Look for the app with the Gear Icon to access your Settings.
-
Once you’re in settings, select Notifications.
-
Scroll down until you spot the Apple Keyboard option. Tap on it.
-
Toggle off the Allow Notifications option located at the top-right corner of your screen. This action will completely deactivate all notifications coming from your Apple Watch Keyboard.
You should know that if you use multiple iPhones with the same Apple Watch, you’ll have to manually turn off this option on all your devices. Suppose you prefer not to disable this option altogether. In that case, you can customize the notification appearance by making it show up differently –- like disabling the banner pop-up, muting the notification sound, and allowing the notification to appear only on the lock screen or in the notification center.
If those Apple keyboard notifications are still bugging you on your iPhone when you’re not even typing on your Watch, perform a simple restart on your Apple Watch. Hold down the crown and side button together until the Apple logo appears on your watch face, indicating a force restart. This action is likely to resolve the issue.
