2015-04-24
apps apps apps apps there are over 3000 apps already available for the Apple watch where do they like how do you put them on and how do you take them off I'll show you how first you're going to need your iPhone that's paired with it now there are 3,000 apps available on the Apple watch but all of them use the iPhone to load its apps onto the watch automatically so if you browse the App Store or you browse the App Store that's on the Apple watch app on your iPhone they're downloading iPhone apps contain within is that nugget and it automatically pulls on and it connects now how do you get it off is the question well there are two ways to delete them you don't have to delete them from your iPhone but you can remove the one on your watch if you look at the grid of apps which you get to by pressing in on the digital crown and you swipe around any of those little app icons you can press and hold until you see them all sort of wobble like iPhone icons then there's a little tiny X at the top you could tap near that and then it brings up the option to delete the app delete the app few seconds later it's gone you can also do that from your iPhone if you don't want to fiddle around with those apps on the watch if you open your Apple watch app on the iPhone you see a huge long list of all of the apps but if you have as many as I do that you've installed tap on any one of those and you have very simple options inside you can offer it up as a glance or at the top it says you can remove or or add that app to your watch toggle it so that it's not green that removes it from your Apple watch now if you want to get it back on to your Apple watch it's still listed in your settings you just go back into that setting and toggle it back on and then it will reinstall now if you want to do something a little cool to take care of your apps and be able to get to the newer easily you can activate glances and if you activate that from that toggle or from a glance a submenu you can get a little card that appears when you swipe up on your watch you can get your key apps a lot faster so I think you should cherry pick maybe your five or six most interesting apps make sure you put them in glances and then you get to those apps a little faster that's apps on the Apple watch have fun exploring they're a lot out there I'm Scott Stein at CNET
