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:

I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4

I cannot access Apple Store app from iPhone 4.
We're sorry, the Apple Store app is currently not supported in the country associated with your Apple ID.
I am in USA and my correct address is on my account.

you can't, but you can simply ignore it. but if you REALLY want to delete it, call apple customer support to ask for a deletion. though, you'll need the password and security questions of the old account.
you can manage your apple ID's at: https://appleid.apple.com/

How do I remove the watch app from iOS

I just updated my iOS and now have a watch app icon I can not remove.
I don't want it there. I don't want an apple watch. I will not be buying an apple watch. It's a waste of memory on my device.
My phone is not an advertisement space for the marketing of apple's products. I feel it's crossing a line now with the watch app.
How do I remove this app from my iphone?

You cannot remove the Watch app. It is a core app like Health, Weather, Compass, etc. Move it to the last page of your Home screens, or put it in a folder if you don't want to see it.

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.

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.

I got this from an Apple Support person, totally clueless:

Itunes removed all my apps from iphone

All my applications that weren't on iphone when I bought it have been removed from my iphone. They don't show up on my iphone app sync page but there are listed in itunes under applications. Each one has an exclamation mark next to it. How do I get them back onto my iphone? And why did this happen without my prompting?

the ( ! ) means those files were moved and iTunes lost track of them. Doug has a script http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=bringoutyerdead but i'm not sure if it will work with apps.
if you cannot locate those files at all, be aware that purchased apps can be re-downloaded for free.

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.

I cannot delete your posts. As I explained, only the Hosts can.
And if you can find it in your heart to actually pass on the feedback that the pre installed apps not being able to easily be gotten rid of is a problem, then that would be great.
Use the feedback link I gave in my first post.
Apparently one of your hosts deleted his own post where he called me an idiot for necroing this thread, where it's still an issue. Obviously I'm not so naive as to think it'd be changed on one person's say-so, but the fact that he deleted his own post is problematic and goes to trust and accountability.
No Hosts have posted here.

How do i delete apps from iphone?

Tried some apps, didn't like them, now can't get rid of them. What do i do?

Besides being included with the iPhone user guide with Apple including a Safari bookmark for the user guide with Safari on the iPhone, a Google or internet search is your friend. This link was the 4th hit with a Google search for "removing apps from iPhone".
