Apple Watch is a remarkable wearable device that not only keeps you connected but also helps you stay healthy and active with its fitness and activity tracking features. One of the health-oriented functions is the “Stand Reminders,” which nudges you to stand up and move around for at least one minute during 12 different hours throughout the day.

While this feature can be beneficial for many users, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you find the stand reminders unnecessary or prefer not to receive them, you can easily turn them off. In this article, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process to disable stand reminders on your Apple Watch.

Disabling stand reminders is just one of the many ways you can personalize your Apple Watch to align with your lifestyle. The process to turn them off is straightforward.

To turn off stand reminders on your iPhone, you can do this directly from the Apple Watch or using the watch app on your iPhone.

In the Settings menu, scroll down and look for the Activity option. The Activity settings allow you to customize various aspects of your fitness and activity tracking on the Apple Watch.

Under the Activity settings, you will find the Stand Reminders option. By default, stand reminders are enabled, but you can easily turn them off. Tap on the toggle switch next to Stand Reminders to disable the feature. The toggle will turn from green to gray. This shows that the stand reminders are now off.
