Deleting apps on apple watch

Press the Digital Crown to go to the Home Screen. Then if you have your apps in a grid view, tap and hold on an icon until they jiggle and then tap the X button that appears over the app. If your apps are in a list view, swipe on them and tap the trash icon.

That's an interesting question Jabby09. Which apps are you having trouble deleting? There are apps that I would like to cull from the apps screen too to thin it out. Take Memoji as an example. Using grid view, if I press down on the icon until the icons jiggle, and the Memoji app appears with a x, and then tap on the x I get a screen saying do you really want to do this. Well I am not sure about that so I have not tapped the delete command, but the process seems to work. Equally if I use the list view and swipe the app I get the trash icon so that also seems to work. However, there are apps that don't show with the x or the trash icon and I think they are connected to the iPhone, or built in so that you cannot delete them. So Maps won't delete and Breath will for example.

The apps with x aren’t the ones I want to delete and when I swipe on the list view the trash icon doesn’t appear.

Do you have screen time enabled?.

I think do. How do I tell?

I tried all your suggestions and it doesn’t work.

apps won’t juggle

when I swipe on app I don’t get the trash icon
