How do I shut the green light off on my Apple Watch?

Answered by James Kissner

To shut off the green light on your Apple Watch, you have a few options. The green light is typically associated with the heart rate sensor, so disabling the sensor will stop the green lights from activating.

One way to do this is by simply stopping the workout you are currently doing. When you end a workout, the heart rate sensor will no longer be actively monitoring your heart rate, and the green lights should turn off.

If you want to completely disable the green lights even outside of a workout or activity, you can turn off the heart rate sensor altogether. To do this, open the Apple Watch’s Settings app.

Next, scroll down and tap on “Privacy.” This will bring up a list of privacy settings for various health-related features.

From there, tap on “Health,” which will open the settings specifically for the health-related features of your Apple Watch.

Look for the option to turn off the heart rate sensor. It may be listed as “Heart Rate” or “Heart Rate Sensor.” Tap on it, and you will be given the option to disable it.

Keep in mind that disabling the heart rate sensor will also prevent your Apple Watch from collecting heart rate data, which may affect the accuracy of certain health and fitness features. If you rely on heart rate data for tracking your workouts or monitoring your health, you may want to keep the sensor enabled.

In summary, to shut off the green light on your Apple Watch, simply stop the workout you are currently doing. If you want to disable the green lights permanently, navigate to the Apple Watch’s Settings app, go to “Privacy,” then “Health,” and disable the heart rate sensor.
