A frustrating bug has left Galaxy Watch users in a noisy bind! Samsung confirms that the Do Not Disturb feature is malfunctioning after the One UI 8 update, causing it to turn off unexpectedly. This issue has sparked frustration among users who value their peace and quiet.
But here's the catch: the bug affects multiple Galaxy Watch models, from the Watch 4 to the Watch 8, leaving many users in the lurch. Samsung has acknowledged the problem and is working on a solution, but in the meantime, users are left with a temporary fix.
The bug occurs when you pair your watch with a phone running One UI 8 and enable Do Not Disturb via the quick panel. However, the setting doesn't stick, and it turns off after a few seconds. This is due to a sync failure between the watch and the phone, leaving users exposed to unwanted notifications.
And here's where it gets interesting: while a permanent fix is in the works, Samsung has offered two workarounds. First, you can access the watch's full settings menu, navigate to Notifications, and enable Do Not Disturb from there. This ensures the setting remains active. Alternatively, you can enable DND from the quick settings on your connected Galaxy phone, which will sync correctly with the watch.
Samsung assures users that a software update is on the way to resolve this issue. To receive the fix promptly, users are advised to keep their Galaxy Wearable app updated.
