Does Apple or the app developer determine if the app is available for "Return to App"?

I have the USGA's GHIN app on my phone and watch. When using the app during a round of golf, the app needs to be opened every time the watch goes to sleep.

It would be nice to have the "Return to App" capability for ease of use during play.


Does Apple make the decision if an app has that capability or is it something that needs to be addressed with the app developer?

I do not know the answer to your question. But you can ask the app developer for a start.


You can also send feedback to Apple

In the mean time, you can also set your golf app as one of your favorites, and get to it quickly via the Oval side button and the Dock:
