I'm trying to install available apps from my apple phone to my apple watch. Double clicked on watch, shows "processing" but does not install.
I'm trying to install available apps from my apple phone to my apple watch. Double clicked on watch, shows "processing" but does not install.
I tested installing a third party spp smd still no double-click but it did stall until I checked my Watch and connected it to wi-fi
If yours is still connected to wi-fi and still have problems....
First make sure you are not using VPN or VPN adblockers or security apps on the iPhone. They can wreak havoc and protect nothing.
Start by force restarting the Watch and paired iPhone at the same time:-
Force restart the Watch
i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
Then while Watch is restarting, force Restart the paired iphone Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)
You may also want to make sure the software on the watch and iphone are both up to date to the same level. Updates are in pairs. eg iOS16.6 and watchOS 9.6 go together
Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support first then
Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Test it for a while. If it is still misbehaving...
Unpair and set up again, takes about 20 minutes.
Unpair and erase your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
Set up your Apple Watch – Apple Support (UK)
If no remedy, unpair and setup without restoring the backup. You will lose little.
This is what I've been doing: I touch "install". The watch tells me to "double click to install", shows "processing" but does not show on watch. Seems like I can get no "available apps" to the watch other than the native apps.
I'm missing something here. Thanks for the help.
Thr normal process is on iPhone, Watch app, My Watch tab, look at the list of available apps and tap install.
No double tap required
Thanks for all the help. Returned from the Apple store where it took 2 hrs to reset everything and got me going. Thanks for all your time.
Thats great, glad I could help.
