no voice memos app

Why isn't there a voice memos app on my apple watch? When I first got it, it was there, but now it's gone! When I try to download it on my phone it says "OPEN", as if I already have it on the apple watch. What is wrong?

Greetings, Plootypus.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are missing the Voice Memo’s app on your Apple Watch. I’m happy to lend a hand. 


You mentioned that you searched the App Store on your iPhone for Voice Memos. Did you also search the App Store on your Apple Watch?

Let me know if that helps.

Hello, Plootypus.


Thanks for letting me know that your App Store is missing too. I suggest that ensure that the App Store is available in your region: Availability of Apple Media Services - Apple Support


If so, please restart your iPhone and Apple Watch:

If the issue persists, create a backup of your Apple Watch. Then unpair and repair your watch.

Please let me know the outcome.


Cheers.
