My apple watch wont open apps

I tap the app to open it. The icon shows up but it just sits there looking like its buffering. I've uninstalled the apps and reinstalled them to no avail.

Hi


The following steps may help:


If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:


Install any available updates for your apps:

  • On your iPhone, in the App Store app, go to: Updates (tab) > install all available updates.


Remove and reinstall the app on your watch:

  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > tap on the app name in the list of apps > turn off Show App on Apple Watch > wait until the app has been removed > turn the setting back on again.


Close the app on your iPhone and restart both your iPhone and your watch:


Unpair and re-pair your watch:

If the issue then persists, I suggest that you contact the app developer for assistance:


On your iPhone, in the App Store app: find and view the app > tap on Reviews > tap on App Support.
