The Apple Watch features a Home Screen that significantly differs from the Home Screen on your iPhone or iPad. The icon layout is a big departure from what you’re used to on your iPhone, and while some may like it, others may think it looks a bit messy. Thankfully, apps can be rearranged per your liking, and we’ll show you how.
Rearrange apps directly on your Apple Watch
- Press the Digital Crown to see all your apps.
- Touch & hold a single app until all of the app icons become the same size and begin to wiggle.
- Touch the app’s icon you want to move and drag it to the new location.
- Once you’re finished rearranging your apps, press the Digital Crown to save your changes.
Use your iPhone to customize the Apple Watch Home Screen
You can also rearrange the apps on your Apple Watch Home Screen from the comfort of your big iPhone screen.
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap App View > Arrangement.
- Touch and hold an app icon and drag & drop it to a new spot.
If you use List View
You can set your Apple Watch to show your apps in Grid View or List View. If you’ve chosen List View, the apps will be listed in alphabetical order with their full app names, and you can’t change the position. You can only rearrange Apple Watch apps in Grid View.
