The digital crown is one of the most noticeable interaction options of the Apple Watch — the physical dial that you can scroll, touch and press to activate several unique features that the Watch offers, including ECG and Siri.

The digital crown gives continuous haptic feedback, which provides users more tactile experience as they scroll through the content. With haptic feedback, every interaction is transformed into a more mechanical and responsive feel guided by sensations and sounds of clicks.

If you’re one of those who do not like the feel of this feature and want to disable it completely, we have got you covered. This article will guide you on how to turn off the digital crown on Apple Watch and iPhone.
