Hey there andrewlowcheewee,


We understand the Watch app on your iPhone isn't showing up in the search. We'll be happy to help.


To begin, we'd recommend making sure the app is enabled for search. This can be done by going to: Settings > Siri & Search > Watch

On that screen make sure 'Show App in Search' is enabled. If it's already on, toggle it off then back on and test.

For more on how to configure your search results, check this out: Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We'd also suggest restarting your iPhone. Use the steps here: Restart your iPhone


Lastly, make sure your iPhone is fully up-to-date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


We hope this helps. Cheers!
