Apple Watch comes with a set of pre-loaded apps like Activity, which helps track your daily physical activity and exercise; Breathe, which is a mindfulness app, Calendar and Messages. While some of these apps are quite useful to be up-to-date with your daily routine, some other stock apps are absolutely useless if you do not use them often, and this only clutters the Watch’s home screen.
Whenever you install a third-party app on your iPhone, it also installs on your Apple Watch, if compatible. Some of these wrist-based apps might serve you better, but many others duplicate the function of your iPhone’s apps. These may fill up the storage space in the Watch, which can otherwise be used to store music, podcasts or audiobooks.
There are two ways to manage your apps on your Apple Watch — directly through the Watch or using your iPhone. Follow our guides below to delete apps from your Apple Watch.
