Before you begin
Update your Apple Watch to the latest version of watchOS. If you still need help, try the steps below for your issue.
If you can’t find some of your apps
After you update to the latest version of watchOS, your apps will automatically appear on your Apple Watch again.
If any of your apps are still missing, open the Watch app on your iPhone. Scroll to the app, tap it, then tap Show on Apple Watch.
If an app won't open or unexpectedly quits in watchOS 2
Try to open the app again after each step:
- Place your Apple Watch on its charger, and connect your iPhone to power.
- On your iPhone, open the Music app and play a song.
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone, scroll down to the app that won't open, tap it, and turn Show App on Apple Watch off, then back on. Repeat this step to re-install any apps that won't open.
If you still can't open an app, unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone, then pair again.
