Apple Watch app on my iPhone won’t open

I recently purchased an Apple Watch and was able to complete the set up but I was never able to connect with the walk-in talkie, then a few weeks later the app on my SE (2020) wouldn’t open. The screen would flash and just got back to the main screen. I tried to delete the app but it says I had to unpair my watch so I did that and I still cannot delete the app and re add it.

I'm not sure, but what I would try is with the watch unpaired, restart your iPhone.

Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Then try to delete the watch app (if it didn't delete itself).

If that works, then pair your watch.

Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If it doesn't work, then the more drastic step would be to restore your iPhone from a back (or even more drastically, factory reset it):

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
