It disables all the radios in your Apple Watch except for Bluetooth. This means no Wi-Fi, GPS, or, if you have it, Cellular.<\/p>\n<p>Airplane Mode has a couple of uses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It lets you comply with airline policy and various laws around the world, without turning your Apple Watch off.<\/li>\n<li>It provides a quick way to force your Watch to reconnect with Wi-Fi networks, GPS satellites, or cell service. Turning things off and on again really can help.<\/li>\n<li>It saves battery life when you want to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To toggle Airplane Mode on or off, tap the \u201cAirplane\u201d icon.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Silent_Mode\"><\/span>Silent Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/x3silent.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.0oKmB5aWXJ.png\" alt=\"toggling silent mode on and off on apple watch\" width=\"650\" height=\"396\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Silent mode mutes your Apple Watch. When it\u2019s active, your Watch won\u2019t make any beeps, buzzes, or other alert tones including alarms, although it will still vibrate and give you a haptic alert. Otherwise, it works as normal.<\/p>\n<p>To toggle Silent Mode on or off, tap the bell icon.

You can set it to remain on for an hour, until later in the day, until a calendar event is finished, or until you leave your current location. It also gets activated automatically if you have it scheduled, you have a sleep schedule, and, depending on if you have the options enabled or not, when you\u2019re working out or driving.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theater_Mode\"><\/span>Theater Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5cinemamode.png\" alt=\"toggling theater or cinema mode on and off on apple watch\" width=\"650\" height=\"396\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Turning on Theater Mode (or Cinema Mode in the U.K.) activates Silent Mode so all alerts are muted.
