Remove email from Apple Watch 4

Can I remove the email from my watch without removing it from my phone? Currently since my work email syncs to my watch I have to enter an 8 digit passcode to open my watch. I am hoping removing email will allow my watch to be easier to use.

Well yes, in the Watch app in iPhone, under Settings > Mail, you can specify in great detail which mail accounts are active and how the sync between your iPhone and the watch happens overall.


However turning off the work email there would probably not have any effect to that passcode requirement. That is managed by overall security policy and typically there is no way around it, as long as you are pairing with the work phone.


On your iPhone, you can check if such security profile exists, under Setting > General > Device Management.
