Remove unwanted built-in Apple apps from WatchOs 6

[katbel]

The new Watch Os 6 has Books and App Store that I really dont need it

I already know I can delete Radio and Cycle , good
and the others? I read on https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/18/apple-watchs-own-built-in-apps-can-be-deleted-in-watchos-6/
that the Os6 would let you delete Apple apps but how?

Same paradigm as on a phone. Tap-and-hold on the apps screen until they start dancing, then tap the "x" to delete. Click the crown when finished.

There are still some you can't ditch.

Yes, I had to double check with my wife, but we both agreed I would not benefit from cycle tracking, so I deleted the app..... ;-)

But, as the article points out:

Not all of the built-in iOS and watchOS can be removed, however. Some, like Heart Rate and Messages, will remain.

But, as the article points out:

Thanks , still hoping these two were not as essential as Messages or Heart Rate

Thanks, I thought you still couldn’t delete any of them. This is a good start, now they just need to let us delete 98% of the rest and we will be all set.

This is the only built in app I removed. Won’t do me any good for same reason. Didn’t feel like scrolling past it every time I tapped the crown and went to my app list (I use list mode instead of icon grid).

I’m a guy so first app I deleted was the cycle tracking app. Lol

I dunno... if you have a girlfriend or wife, there’s something to be said for having some warning ... ???

Not to worry. We’re in our 70’s.

Well past that on both sides then! ?

Sad to say long past my friend.

I would like to delete the Messager APP

Oh, I get plenty of warning without tracking anything, lol!

you can also do it on your iPhone , use the watch app, scroll down to "installed on apple watch" and turn off what you done want ...

if you do it will move to the bottom as "available apps" and you can re-install it later ...

Thanks, I know it's much faster and easier than doing on the watch
but the problem remain with major Apple apps
