  1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Tap App View, then tap Grid View or List View.

You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap App View, then tap Grid View or List View.


The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
