To download apps to your Apple Watch Ultra, you'll use the App Store directly on the watch itself. Here's how:
-
Open the App Store: Locate and tap the App Store app icon on your Apple Watch Ultra. It looks similar to the App Store icon on your iPhone.
-
Browse and Discover Apps: Turn the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch Ultra to scroll through featured apps, curated collections, and app categories. The Digital Crown allows for easy navigation and browsing.
-
Explore Collections (Optional): If you see a collection that interests you (e.g., "Best Fitness Apps"), tap it to view more apps within that category.
-
Download an App:
- Free Apps: If the app is free, tap the "Get" button. Then, tap "Install."
- Paid Apps: If the app requires a purchase, you will see the price listed. Tap the price button. You may be prompted to confirm your purchase using your Apple ID password, Face ID, or Touch ID (if enabled).
-
Installation: After tapping "Get" or the price button and confirming the purchase (if necessary), the app will begin downloading and installing on your Apple Watch Ultra. You'll see a progress indicator around the app icon.
-
Alternative Method: Using your iPhone: Some apps will automatically install on your Apple Watch if they are compatible and already installed on your iPhone. To manage this setting:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap "App Store".
- Toggle "Automatic Downloads" on or off.
That's it! The new app icon will appear on your Apple Watch Ultra's Home Screen when the installation is complete.
