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?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5
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?
Learn how to directly install apps on your Apple Watch, here: Install apps on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Let me know if that helps.
Best wishes.
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.

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Please let me know the outcome.

By the way you need a phone with ios13 or higher to update to watchos6.
Ummm, the app store isn't there either
I tried both of them, but I still don't have the voice memos app or the app store. Maybe it is because of the version? Is it too low?
The watch app store was introduced in watchos6 along with voice memo's.
Wait so my watch is version 5.3.6, so it won't have it? How do I get it to update?
no voice memos app
