IOS 8.2 Apple watch app - WHY?

Hi,
I updated my iPhone to 8.2 and i sadly noticed that there is one more absolutely unnecessary app that i can not delete. Even its icon looks bad. Why are people forced to have Apple Watch, Health, Tips and others on their phones? If Apple installs them on my phone to advertise them but i can delete all if i want, than i dont mind. I could live with it. But forceing me to have it is so disgusting. I feel like Apple is getting Crapple, going for a cheap full of ad experience without really getting cheap.
I really hope someone will see this who can actually do something about this.

Rest assured that no-one who could anything it about will see this.  You're on a user-to-user forum.  Try this http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
You could do what most people do - put the apps you have no use for in a folder and park it in your last home screen.

  • When I got the IOS 8.2 update it did not come with the apple watch app like it said it wouldo

    I went to settings and clicked on the IOS 8.2 update and when it restarted the apple watch which on the update discription said would be there wasn't there

    The Apple Watch app is only on the iPhone. You can't pair a watch with a iPad even though it was included in the update.

  • Remove Apple Watch app from iPhone

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8.2.  For some reason I now have an Apple Watch app on my phone.  How do I remove it?  I don't intend to ever purchase an Apple Watch.  Why on earth would Apple automatically install something like this on a phone?

    This app is part of the Apple default software and can't be removed. However, most users put it into a separate folder, just like the other apps that they don't want to have on the screen.
    You may give Apple some feedback about that, if you think that there should be a possibility to do that:

  • 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.

  • Go do I get te Apple watch app I did the latest and it didn't download on my phoneu

    I am getting the Apple watch and the Apple watch app didn't download on my phone when I did te latest update and I heard it auto fownlo

    The Apple Watch will require an iPhone 5 or newer, thus you will not see the App on your 4S.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 6+ won't go to sleep after using Apple Watch App

    I noticed that since I own the Apple Watch my iPhone 6+ battery drains very quick. Currently "Home & Lock Screen" and "TuneIn Radio" are using the most battery (although I force-killed all apps). Another thing I noticed is that my iPhone won't go to sleep after the configured 2 minutes. It just stays on sucking on the battery.
    After I restart the iPhone everything is back to normal. I believe the problems start the moment I launch the Apple Watch App on the iPhone.
    Will do some tests...

    I'm having the same issue even after the 8.1.3 update. It's not from my carrier because I used a different carrier and noticed the same issue.
    My short term fix has been putting my phone on airplane mode then off.
    If any one knows a solution, please let me know.
    Thank you.

  • Remove Apple watch app

    Why does apple insist on forcing me to download applications I will NEVER use (Apple watch, Apple health)? or make changes to the sounds for the phone (remove the sound when I send a text)? I would fix the grammar above but this site doesn't work correctly on the iphone.

  • 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.

  • IMAP question - message showing up in iOS but not in Mail.app - why?

    I set up an account in Mail.app Version 5.2 (1257). It's an IMAP account linked to a Gmail account.
    Just now I saw a (1) indicator that a new mail had arrived. But when I clicked on the account's Inbox there were no messages there.
    I also checked on my iPhone, which also uses IMAP for the same Gmail account, and I can see the message and read it.
    I went back to Mail.app but it's still not there. So I manually selected Mailbox > Get New Mail > account name. After doing this the (1) indicator went away and there is still no mail in the Inbox.
    But the message is still there when looking via both my iPhone and iPad.
    I also tried closing and opening a new View Window, but it didn't help.
    Finally I quit Mail and restarted it and could see the message.
    But what gives? Why couldn't I see the message in Mail.app on my iMac without restarting Mail?
    Thanks,
    doug

    I'm not sure there is a setting for that. I don't see one anywhere.
    But remember - the reason I knew there was a waiting message to begin with was because the dock indicator displayed a number and next to the account's Inbox was a (1) in parentheses. So it must have checked for mail. The message just wasn't there until I quit Mail and started again.
    Anyway, thanks. I'll just see if this happens again. Maybe it was a one time rare bug.
    Thanks,
    doug

  • 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.

  • Develop Apps for Apple Watch?

    I've been developing iOS apps with Flash since 2012.  How can I develop an Apple Watch app with flash?  Any good links with info on this?  I've googled, and Ive forum searched.

    There haven't been any announcements around support for that platform. Doesn't mean there won't be in the future but for you you simply are not able to.
