Hi,


if you're talking about non Apple apps, you can do that in the Watch app (on the iPhone).

Just go down the items and find the section named "Installed on Apple Watch", tap the app you want to uninstall and turn the "Show App on Apple Watch" off.

The app won't show on the Watch and will still be available on the iPhone.

The uninstalled apps will be moved to the next section "Available Apps", and ready for install in case you need them back.
