Apple Watch Apps Jumping

The app screen and apps on my Apple Watch SE just started moving up and down on its own. I tried all the suggestions provided in support. It’s still not working. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

Hey MAnderson68,


First, we'd suggest restarting your Apple Watch as that may help resolve the issue. This article explains how: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support


"How to restart your Apple Watch

  1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
  2. Drag the Power Off slider.
  3. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger first. When your watch is charging, you can't restart it."


If that doesn't help, we'd recommend unpairing and then pairing your Apple Watch. You can find the steps for that here: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


"How to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone

  1. Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together as you unpair them.
  2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  3. Go to the My Watch tab and tap All Watches.
  4. Tap the info button  next to the watch that you want to unpair. 
  5. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
  6. For GPS + Cellular models, choose to keep or remove your cellular plan. 
    • If you want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, keep your plan. 
    • If you don't want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, remove your plan. If you aren't going to pair with a different watch or iPhone, you might need to contact your carrier to cancel your cellular subscription. 
  1. Tap again to confirm. You might need to enter your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock. Before erasing all content and settings on your Apple Watch, your iPhone creates a new backup of your Apple Watch. You can use the backup to restore a new Apple Watch. After your Apple Watch unpairs, you'll see the Start Pairing message.
  2. Set up your Apple Watch again."


Thanks!
