Restore Workout App on Apple Watch Series 7

Hey, everyone 👋🏻

I accidentally deleted the Workout app on my Apple Watch Series 7. I can't find it in the App Store on my Apple Watch. I can see it in my Watch app on iPhone, but I can't add it to my apps on Watch. How can I get this app back?

Thanks!

i found a more quicker solution after realising nothing could work for me, it must be my toddler who has deleted this app, and yes app store does not show up the app, I searched the on my iphone safari browser and got the app link

https://apps.apple.com/nz/app/workout/id1584215851, sent this link to myself using text message, received that link on apple watch and clicked it, got that in 1 min

No for some reason Apple allow you to delete it but it is not in the App Store (I reported that to them as illogical)


You will need to unpair and re-pair, though a forced restart may bring it back.


Start by force restarting the Watch and paired iPhone at the same time:-

Force restart the Watch

i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo. Then while Watch is restarting,

Force Restart the paired iphone   Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK) 


You may also want to update to OS9.5 and iOS16.5 if you have not already

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support and

Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support 


If it is still missing...

Unpair and set up again

 Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK) 

and then set up again - takes about 20 minutes

Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK) 

If necessary unpair and setup without restoring the backup
