Watch ultra: how to turn off "touch screen to wake"

[0brand1]

How do I turn off "touch screen to wake" when I have the "always on display" on (without turning off AOD)? 2 year old son keeps touching it and changing screen from me. Getting annoying to have "touch screen to wake" on.

You have to turn off AOD, in order to disable touch to wake.

We need to be allowed the option to disable touch to wake when AOD is enabled.

This is something new they changed as part of One UI 6 as on prior versions of One UI you could have the AOD enabled but Touch to Wake disabled.  Like you, I am not a fan and would like to have a choice as the accidental touches have forced me to turn off the AOD.

From what I have heard the latest beta for the GW4/5/6 re-adds this toggle so I imagine in the next update to the GW7 we will also regain the ability to use the AOD but without Touch to Wake.

Go to your wearable app on your phone and go to the settings

The setting to turn off "touch screen to wake" is grayed out when AOD is enabled, no way to turn it off. Not sure how yours is turned off?
