Managing apps on your HUAWEI watch

This feature is unavailable when your watch is paired with an iPhone.

This feature is not supported on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2 or HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e.

Installing apps

  1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and touch App​Gallery.
  2. Select a desired app from the Apps list and touch INSTALL. After installation is successful, open the app list on your watch to find and access the newly installed app.

Updating apps

  1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and touch App​Gallery.
  2. Go to Manager > Updates > UPDATE to update apps to their latest versions.

Uninstalling apps

  1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and touch App​Gallery.
  2. Go to Manager > Installation manager > UNINSTALL to uninstall apps. After the uninstallation is complete, you won't find the removed apps on your watch.

If you have set Disable AppGallery service in Huawei Health, you'll need to touch App​Gallery and follow the onscreen instructions to grant the required permissions, to enable App​Gallery again.

  • Before using a third-party app, add it to the list of protected background apps via Phone Manager/Optimizer. In addition, on your phone, go to Settings > Battery, select the app in Battery usage by app, touch Launch settings, and enable Auto-launch, Secondary launch, and Run in background.
  • If a third-party app doesn't work after you add it to the list of protected background apps, uninstall the app, reinstall it, and try again.
  • The pre-installed apps on your wearable device cannot be uninstalled or deleted.

Reordering your watch's app list

This feature is available only on certain watch models, such as the HUAWEI WATCH GT 4 Series, HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate, HUAWEI WATCH Buds, and HUAWEI WATCH GT 3 Series.

Press the Up button or side button on your watch to open the app list, touch and hold down on any app, drag it to a desired position, and release once other apps are moved away.
