I have NY Times on my phone but the app does not appear on my watch. Any suggestions?

If it is on your iPhone and it is made to work on your watch you may not have auto install activated.


To see if it is available from your iPhone

Watch>scroll down to you see Available Apps, if it is there tap Install

You can install any app you wish to install in this category if you want it

and just above that are the apps installed on Apple watch, if you don't want one tap it then toggle off show on apple watch


To turn on automatic install

watch>App Store> Automatic downloads>toggle this on
