watchOS has allowed users to delete Apple Watch apps directly on the wearable, but only for third-party software. watchOS 6 is set to change that by giving the option to delete built-in apps right from Apple Watch.
The new functionality won’t allow users to delete all of the built-in Apple Watch apps, but it will make it possible to remove stock apps like Breathe, Stopwatch, World Clock, Timer, Alarms, Walkie-Talkie, Radio, and more.
Keep in mind watchOS 6 is currently only available as a developer beta and will be available to the public in the fall.
Note: you can reinstall stock watchOS 6 apps you’ve deleted by heading to the App Store on Apple Watch.
