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.

Apps not opening I recently bought my Apple Watch SE, and for the first weeks it was working fine. However, now when I press an app to open, it often does not want to open the app. I also have this when I am closing my apps, that it just does not want to react. (It does show that i pressed on the app, but nothing happens) I already restarted it and also checked my storage but that did not seem to work. Someone any idea how to fix this problem?

I am unable to download apps on my Apple Watch I have tried to install apps on my Apple Watch through the App Store, I enter my password and it says “double click to install” or something along the lines of that, the place where it used to say “get” loads for a few seconds, then disappears. I’ve restarted the watch and I just can’t install it. Help?!? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
