How Do I Download Apps to My Apple Watch Ultra?

Published in Apple Watch 2 mins read

To download apps to your Apple Watch Ultra, you'll use the App Store directly on the watch itself. Here's how:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).
  5. 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.

  6. 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.
