Watch 7 UI problem with the time the notifications stays on screen

[Gnarlygeek]

Whenever I interact with an app, even the default apps, and a response message is displayed at the bottom of the screen, that message lingers for several minutes. It covers any button that may appear when interacting with any other app/action. I have changed the notification timing to the minimum, but this behavior does not appear to be linked. Even using the "close all apps" button doesn't work because the button to acknowledge is covered by the action response message. It's gotten to the point that I reset the watch to force it off.

@Gnarlygeek Try this:

1. Open phone settings
2. Click on Accessibility 
3. Click on Advanced settings
4. Click on Time to take action.
5. Change this to a value that you like.

Thanks for the suggestion. I set it to 30 seconds. I'll let you know if that works.

Are you referring to your watch or your phone?  If It's your watch, go to the Wear App, watch settings, accessibility.  Tap on Advanced settings, then tap on "time to take action" and make sure it's set to default, which is the minimum amount of time.  

If the setting is already on default, and if this delay is a recent manifestation, try clearing your watch cache.

Thanks, I set it to 30 seconds after msg from LongHiker. It's hard to know when it's "fixed" so I reset to Default as you mentioned. I'll do some testing when I have time after work.

Well, LongHiker was not wrong in his instructions, but his instructions were for the phone.  You were inquiring about the watch, which has its own accessibility settings.
