Can I remove the apple watch app from my iphone?

With all the apps that Apple requires to be downloaded, it leaves little room for the apps I want or pictures or music.  Is there a way to delete this app or other apps I don't want/use that Apple puts on there?

It is a little different than the PC "bloatware" The Apple provided apps go back to the first iPhone and prior to Apple allowing third party apps. At that time the smartphones available (Blackberry, Treo) all included Mail, a browser, weather, and stocks apps so Apple did too. Apple also included the iTunes Store and Music apps since they operated a music store. Since then they have continued to offer these apps and have added Newsstand (really a folder), Passport ( a new feature that has to be tied to the OS due to sandboxing restrictions,a Clock, and Apple Watch. Stocks is included since the Blackberry was primarily used by businesses and Apple wanted to be able to include this market.
Once Apple opened up to 3rd party apps they could have dropped some of the included apps but they really don't take a lot of space and I would guess they are widely used. I know I use the included Stocks and Weather, they meet my simple needs and I have no reason to download another and learn it. Oddly if you read the iPad community when it was first released one of the biggest complaints (and it still pops up) is not included clock (now not applicable), weather and calculator apps. You just can't win.

  • How can i remove the apple watch app

    this is yet another app i will never use, how can i remove it?

    You can't remove it because the app is part of the system update and any app that is part of the software cannot be removed.
    You can only hide it in a folder so that you can't see it.

  • How can I remove the forced U2 songs from my iphone without synchronizing?

    Hello. I have about 100 songs merely on my iPhone, nowhere else. Apple moved somehow these U2 songs on my iPhone without permission. Now it is like having an undesired cupboard standing in the middle of my living room and I cannot remove it. A synchronizing would also delete my 100 songs. What can I do? Please help!

    Hello Pammander,

  • How can I remove the iOS5 Newsstand App from my iPad

    I keep all of my apps organized into 5 folders running on the bottom along with the Safari app. 
    I like to keep my iPad screen free of clutter so I can enjoy my wallpaper.
    I read the threads and see that the Newsstand acts as a folder itself which is why I can't hide it within another folder, but I really don't want to have to run two pages just to hide the app, can we please have in the next patch update and option to remove this app as I never plan to use it and don't care to read magazines or newspapers on my iPad.

    I'm able to get newsstand into a folder, but it seems to pop out again whenever I download an app update (for unrelated apps in a different group). I did the update via my Windows machine, not from the phone directly.

  • Do you have to leave the apple watch app open

    I am awaiting my apple watch ordered late so have no idea when i will get it other than June. I had a pebble i liked it did the job till i had screen issues and returned it and preordered the 42mm space gray sport. One of the things i did not like about the pebble was having to leave the pebble app open on my phone for it to do most stuff can you close the apple watch app on the phone and still get 100% of the features from the watch.  I have also seen people post photos of their iPhone battery usage showing the apple watch app using a lot of battery from the phone i know it may be from playing with a new toy but could be the app running in the background or a bug.

    As far as battery life goes, I have heard reports of the watch causing a darining, but have no clue how to fix it.
    Regarding the app, not at all, the app is simply for pairing, settings on for the watch, rearranging the home screen, and downloading apps. It does not have to be on all the time to stay connected.

  • How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store on iphone 5s ?

    How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store icon on iphone 5s

    Hello mrh1962,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone 5s.
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How do I get rid of the apple watch app that appeared on my phone when I updated my software?

    The apple watch app is now on my phone and I'd like to remove it. I don't intend to get an apple watch and don't want the app

    You cannot remove this app. It is a core app like the Clock, Health, Weather, etc.
    You can move it to the last Home screen or put it in a folder so you don't have to deal with it.
    Cheers,

  • Can the Apple watch totally replace my iPhone?

    Can Apple watch totally replace my iPhone?

    No, it can't. The Apple Watch is an extension the iPhone.
    You need an iPhone to set up the Apple Watch. Without the iPhone this is what you can do with an Apple Watch once it's set up:
    Use Apple Watch without its paired iPhone
    Although you need an iPhone to do most things with Apple Watch, you can still do several things with Apple Watch without having an iPhone in range.
    Play music from a synced playlist on Apple Watch
    Use the watch, alarms, timers, and the stopwatch
    Keep track of your activity (stand, move, exercise) with the Activity app
    Track workouts

  • How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4?

    I recently purchased a second hand iphone4 not jailbroken and i already restored it to factory settings but i can't log in to icloud using my account because it states that  "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4? Hope someone could help me on this. Cheers! :)

    Hi,
    My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...

  • Why or how can I download the Apple Store App for my windows 8 mobil phone

    I want to download the app for apple store to my windows phone, I find it really  confusing that my computer which supports windows 7 home premium can download apple store app and my phone with the newer windows software cannot,  why and it not why not make sure that it is known before people upgrade or change to the newer phone

    You can't. The Apple Store app is for iOS devices and is not available for Windows Phone, nor can any other iOS app run on your Windows Phone. You'll have to use whatever web browser your phone provides if you want to shop the Apple Store.  And no, there is no Apple Store app for Windows on a computer either. Perhaps you're thinking of iTunes and the iTunes Store?
    Regards.

  • Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad?

    HELP!!! Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad? I urgently needed space to snap some photos, so I quickly deleted several low priority apps to make space.  One of those was the apple Podcast app which I now can't find anywhere.

    There is no Podcasts app that "comes with" the iPad. It is made by Apple but you have to download it. See if this direct link works:
