Galaxy Watch may soon let you turn off daily activity alerts
For now this appears to be a beta feature, but here's to hoping it reaches the stable version of the software soon!

- The Galaxy Watch 7, Ultra, and older devices running beta software have reported issues with overly aggressive daily notification alerts.
- Sometimes these alerts can be at odd hours, but it looks like Samsung is addressing the problem by adding a toggle that lets you turn this feature off.
- The feature is only available in the beta version of the software, and so it’s yet to reach newer devices like the Watch 7 or Ultra. Hopefully, the update will arrive in the coming weeks.
The vast majority of modern smartwatches include some type of activity alert system to encourage the wearer to stay fit and active. While the concept makes sense, these notifications can sometimes be quite aggressive. This is particularly true for the new Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra, but the good news is that a fix may be on the way.
We previously reported that some Galaxy Watch owners were frustrated by unwanted activity notifications when utilizing One UI 6 software. While these alerts only pop up during periods of inactivity, they don’t always make sense. For instance, you might receive an inactivity alert at 8 a.m. while you’re still sleeping or just starting to wake up. The bigger issue is that, at launch, there was no easy way to turn off these alerts. However, it seems the beta has finally added a Daily Activity alert toggle.
