How to Stop Live Activities on Apple Watch

With watchOS 11, Apple added the Live Activities feature to the Apple Watch. The feature - first introduced on the iPhone - helps you keep track of your deliveries, Uber, or even music playing on your Mac, iPhone, or Apple TV.

While most Apple Watch users seem to love this feature, I don’t, as it takes over my current watch face and complications. If you also don’t like the Apple Watch Live Activities feature, here’s how to turn it off.
