All my apps for my watch are just circling on the phone.

Just synced my new watch, all the apps did not appear. When I go to the watch app on my phone it just shows a orange circle moving.

Apps are not installing on my Apple Watch Ultra My Apple Watch Ultra is paired and running latest update watchOS 11.1. However any apps on my phone are not installed on it. on the Watch interface on my phone I can see a list of apps with [install] at the end of each. Clicking on any of them it will show a spinner for few sends and then stop. No app is actually installed and all the apps on the list remain unchanged. I tried to unpair and repair, tried to restart the watch, none helps.

Apple watch series 10 Apps missing and/or not working Hey guys. My wife just bought a new Apple Watch 10 yesterday, everything seems to be working fine so we went home. After opening some apps, like wallet and ECG, they won’t open. Also the main concern being Cycle Tracking app is installed but NOT showing up on the list of apps. Opened the built in Apps Store in the watch and looked for Cycle Tracking, theres no download button, only an OPEN button confirming that the app is installed but not showing. When we click OPEN from the app store, nothing happens. Also on the Watch App in her iPhone, the settings for Cycle Tracking is showing up but the app icon is mow showing up on the Arrange App View Grid View settings. Also did a hard reset and set up as a new watch, did not reset and use backup so it is all default setting but its the same result. Both Apple Watch 10 and iPhone 14 Pro Max OS versions are up to date. Any ideas for a solution guys? Update: paired the watch on a different iphone and it installed all the apps and were all working - Except for news app on the watch it is stuck to installing. However when we checked on iphone, news app is not available in our region (Philippines) so why was installing on the apple watch? Paired the app again on the owner’s iphone and set up as new watch, the same apps that were un available were missing or now showing up on the apps view again.

Apple Watch 7 apps Many of my previous apps that were installed and working on my Apple Watch 7 a few weeks ago are now showing up in the available apps on my watch app on the phone and are no longer visible on my watch. When I click install a circle with a stop button appears, circles for a few, and then the word install appears again. I have reset both my watch and phone and I'm only using 9GB of 32GB.

Hi there Borap,

If you haven't yet, you can see if restarting your Apple Watch may help resolve this as it can refresh the watchOS and may help jump start your apps showing. If needed, below shows how to do so:

"How to restart your Apple Watch if you have watchOS 9

If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger.
Press and hold the side button until you see the power button in the upper-right corner of the display.
Tap the power button.
Drag the Power Off slider.
After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo."

Those steps are from this article: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support If you need instructions for watchOS 8 or earlier, it would also be in that same article.

Can you tell us specifically where you are seeing this orange circle move in the Watch app on your iPhone? Specific details can help us understand better, which can help us provide possible next steps.

Take care.
