How to hide sensitive complication data on Apple Watch

If you own an Apple Watch Series 5 (and later), you certainly know that you can use the so-called Always-On display. As the name suggests, this display can be turned on all the time, but without drastically draining the battery. Apple has come up with a new technology for this watch, thanks to which it can refresh the display with a refresh rate of 1 Hz (i.e. 1x per second), which is the main reason for the low battery consumption. In addition to the clock, you can display various complications on the "off" display that inform you of various information. But the truth is that these complications can often display sensitive data and information that you don't want to share with those around you - for example, your heartbeat, calendar events, emails and more. However, Apple took this into account and came up with a function that you can use to hide these sensitive complications.

How to hide sensitive complications on Apple Watch

If you want to hide the display of sensitive notifications on your Apple Watch Series 5 (and later), you can do so both directly on the Apple Watch and in the Watch app on the iPhone. Below you will find both procedures attached.

In conclusion, I state once again that this function is only available on the Apple Watch, which has a display with Always-On technology - currently only the Series 5. However, in a few days Apple should introduce the seventh generation of its watch, called the Series 6 , which will most likely bring the Always-On display as well. The presentation of the Apple Watch Series 6 should take place at this year's September conference.
