Imagine you are working on your Mac, wearing your Apple Watch and your iPhone on the side table. In this situation, when you receive a notification, it will be delivered and displayed on all your Apple devices, whether you are currently looking at them or not. Apple aims to change this and deliver the notification only to the currently active device. Check out the details right below!
According to a recent report by AppleInsider, Apple recently filed a new patent, titled “Switching between watches and other accessories,” which hints at a new system to intelligently switch to an active device to show current notifications. While the patent is focused on Apple Watch models and other accessories, the Cupertino giant could further develop it to make it available for all of its devices, including MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
With the new patent, this functionality will be further enhanced and your Apple Watch models will be able to communicate with each other and detect which one is currently active or worn by you. Hence, a new notification will be delivered only to the active Apple Watch model instead of the inactive one.
