When I go to remove apps from the watch, I go to the iPhone app and do not allow them to show on the iWatch.
However, instead of the app showing, there is a gray circle there. On the app layout, it tells me that it's the (deleted) app.
I don't want a watch filled with gray circles...
Any hints?
From the Apple Watch User Guide:
i had tried this before posting. It did not work since I had already removed the App
Go to the app in the Watch application and choose to show it on Watch. Once it installs, then simply toggle the switch back off and it should remove it.
Yes, it SHOULD remove it. But it doesn't. I'm left with the little round gray circles.
Restart your Watch and reset your iPhone. Then try again.
To reset the iPhone press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
To reset the Watch press and hold both the digital crown and the button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the watch restart.
How do you know which app(s) correspond to the gray icons? I think I fixed this once before by turning a few apps on and back off again, but it was by luck that I found which ones they were. Now I have a couple dozen in the list as more apps come out.
And that leads to this — is this list just going to to turn into an infinite list of apps you may have installed just for your phone but have a corresponding Watch app as well? And we're expected to click on each to go into a pane with one or two toggles (show/glances)? I hope they figure out something a little easier to manage with 2.0, this is a horrible way to manage a ton of apps you may have not even installed with the intent of using on the watch at all.
