I would like to delete my email from my Apple Watch series 1 Can someone tell me how to delete it and any other apps I don't need?

I Am trying to delete my email account off my Apple Watch series 1. Is this possible and how do I go about it? Also I would like to delete some of the pre installed apps from Apple. Is this possible?

Hi


Some of the built-in apps on Apple Watch - including Mail - can be removed from your watch. However, this can only be done by removing the associated app on your iPhone. It is not possible to delete built-in apps only from your Apple Watch.


To remove a built-in app from your iPhone - and therefore also from your Apple Watch:


  • On your iPhone: touch and gently hold your finger on an app icon until all of icons start to jiggle.
  • For apps that can be deleted, an "X" will be shown next to the icon. Tap on the "X" to delete an app.
  • Press the Home button when done.


If you would prefer to keep the Mail app on your iPhone, but not to receive Mail notifications on your Apple Watch:


On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Mail:

  • Choose Custom.
  • Turn off Show Alerts.


To remove third-party (ie non-Apple) apps from your Apple Watch:


On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > scroll down to the list of apps > tap on an app's name > turn off Show App on Apple Watch.


You may also wish to turn off Automatic App Install:


On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > turn off Automatic App Install.
