    Apple Watch is one of the best-used smartwatches and an amazing product for Apple lovers. Along with health and fitness tracking, this smartwatch offers more benefits, especially to iPhone users. With watchOS, you can manage time, communicate, get notifications, Apple Pay, etc. We definitely require apps to utilize the fullest benefits of the Apple Watch. Few apps are already in-built on watchOS, and you can add some more if you want. The section below guides you on how to add apps to Apple Watch in steps.

    Add Apps on Apple Watch

    You can either add the app directly from the App Store on Apple Watch or download the app on the paired iPhone using Watch App and then add it to the watchOS. Both methods are discussed in detail. Follow along to add apps on your Apple Watch in a simple way.

    Step 5: The app will be installed on your watchOS if connected to an iPhone with the same Wi-Fi. When done with the installation, you will find the app on the Installed on Apple Watch section.

    Alternatively, you can access the App Store section on the Watch app and search for the app you want to download and get it on your watch. If you cannot find the app inside this section, then the app is not compatible with the Apple Watch. At times, you may find apps not showing up on Apple Watch. Resolve it by restarting watchOS.

    Now that you have successfully learned to download the app on watchOS with the help of the above guidelines. Provide us with constructive feedback about the article.
