Apple Watch\u2019s Theater mode (Cinema mode) stops the screen from lighting up every time you move your arm. What if you could enable this automatically at any given time? Here\u2019s how to automatically stop Apple Watch from lighting up.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like your Apple Watch lighting up when you\u2019re at work or when you\u2019re winding down in bed before you go to sleep, you can enable Theater mode\u00a0automatically.<\/p>\n

Enabling Theater mode can be done manually from the Control Center on your Apple Watch. Swipe up from your watch\u2019s home screen to reveal the Control Center.<\/p>\n

\"Swipe<\/p>\n

Then, tap the \u201cTheater\u201d icon (the \u201cTragedy\/Comedy\u201d icon) to enable the mode.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Using the Shortcuts app, you can save yourself a couple of taps every day (and the work of remembering to turn the Theater mode on and off). Create an automation that automatically enables or disables the Theater mode at a given time. This feature is available for Apple Watch running watchOS 7 and higher. On the iPhone side, you\u2019ll need to be using iOS 14 and higher.<\/p>\n

Open the \u201cShortcuts\u201d app on your iPhone and go to the \u201cAutomation\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n

Here, tap the \u201c+\u201d button in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Choose the \u201cCreate Personal Automation\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Select the \u201cTime of Day\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Set the time you want to enable Theater mode. If you want the automation to run on a daily basis, choose the \u201cDaily\u201d option. Then, tap the \u201cNext\u201d button in the top-right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now time to build the shortcut. Tap the \u201cAdd Action\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Search for and add the \u201cSet Theater Mode\u201d or \u201cSet Cinema Mode\u201d action. The feature is named differently in different regions.<\/p>\n

\"Choose<\/p>\n

By default, the \u201cOn\u201d option is selected.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re building the automation for disabling Theater mode, tap the \u201cOn\u201d button and choose the \u201cOff\u201d option from the pop-up message.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Now, tap the \u201cNext\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

To make this automation truly automatic, tap the toggle next to \u201cAsk Before Running\u201d to disable the requirement.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Select the \u201cDon\u2019t Ask\u201d button from the pop-up message.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Now, tap the \u201cDone\u201d button in the top-right corner to save the automation.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

You can repeat this process to create another automation for disabling Theater mode. Make sure to choose the \u201cOff\u201d option from the \u201cSet Theater Mode\u201d action.<\/p>\n

When the shortcut is triggered, you\u2019ll get a notification about it.<\/p>\n
