I just purchased an SE watch for my son and added it to family share. Initially the App Store icon appeared on his watch however it disappeared on day 2.
Anyone know why and how to get it back? Note, I have the App Store turned on from my iPhone for both my watch and under his.
Hi, Mzzz007.
Thanks for getting back to us. Here are a few other places to check and steps to try:
- Is your son's name listed at the top of the page under Settings?
- If you scroll through the list of apps and settings, is the App Store listed there?
Best wishes.

So any advice on what I should do, since none of the past suggestions helped?
Greetings, Mzzz007.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We can understand why you’d want the App Store back on the Apple Watch.
First, Restart your Apple Watch.
Then, make sure the watchOS is up-to-date: Update your Apple Watch
We hope this helps! Thanks for being a part of the community.
Sincerely.
i tried this but still no App Store icon. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the reply. We unpaired then paired his phone back to “my” iPhone as what was originally done and the App Store icon appeared for a brief 15 mins or so and then disappeared. We tried unpairing/pairing again and no App Store icon appeared.
Appreciate any other suggestions.
Hi, Mzzz007.
