I have tried to figure out for for at least 2 years how to sync phone Do Not Disturb settings to the Watch5. I've searched online EVERYWHERE and all I can find is people repeatedly saying "just go into the Wear app and find the sync settings" but there are not sync settings on my app anywhere! I'm going crazy because every "solution" states so simply what to do and my app does not have these options! HELP!!!

In the wear app. Watch settings. Notifications there is a slider to sync dnd with phone. Also in the Wear app watch settings, modes is the first setting in the list, but they would only be there if you have a Samsung phone. Samsung watches, while functional with other Android phones, are really made to function optimally with Samsung phoness to take advantage of the OneUI features, such as modes and syncing dnd.1736605376945.jpg1736605376985.jpg

You can accomplish this by creating Mode or Routine that enables DND.

In the Wear app

Watch Settings
Modes
Turn on Sync watch with phone

Then, when you select the Mode on your phone, it will be mirrored on the watch.SmartSelect_20250108_065809_Galaxy Watch6 Manager_1000025530_1736348375.jpg1736348431809.jpg1736348431841.jpg1736348782724.jpg

I have the Watch6. Perhaps they didn't add the feature until that model.

I never had issues with the DND not working on my Watch3, but once I got the 5 the option went away and it's been driving me bonkers ever since. 

For what it's worth, I've never owned a Samsung phone, only the watches, but I never had this problem until I got the 5.

Do you have a Samsung phone now?

Is the Wear app up to date?
