Once you’ve installed apps on your Apple Watch, there are two simple ways to delete them should you decide you no longer want them on your wrist. You can use your iPhone’s Watch app, or you can delete directly from your Apple Watch itself. Here’s how to delete apps on the watch. You can then delete other apps the same way, or you can click the Digital Crown to take the Apple Watch out of this mode.
