Many, many app developers are releasing Apple Watch apps. What they're actually doing are updating their existing iPhone apps, and building in an Apple Watch app right inside without you realizing it. Some of them show quick news headlines, some act as remotes for playing streaming music or radio, some are second screens for your iPhone apps, some show basic information like weather reports or sports scores. Think of them as tiny, multi-layered widgets, hopefully helping you use your iPhone or access features. Many of them run slowly..or, I should say, load information slowly. Or, more slowly than you might expect. They're using your connection to your iPhone to load information back and forth.

If they're third-party apps, that is, Apple's pre-installed apps -- like Activity, Workout, and the Music app -- can run independently, for the most part, Apple will eventually lovecases check yo self iphone 8 / 7 case - sparkling black allow third-party apps to work like this too, but not right now, There will be a full-fledged "native" third-party apps on Apple Watch later this year, allowing deeper access to functions, while working away from your iPhone, too, At the moment, most third-party apps feel simplified and not nearly as complex as your average iPhone app..

A few apps, like Maps and Runkeeper, launch apps on the iPhone. Most launch the connected iPhone apps in the background. That means you could let your iPhone do other things: you could give your phone to your kid to watch a movie and still access Apple Watch apps to get news or make a reservation. Glances, a swipe-up series of card-like easy-to-read mini-apps that are basically little widgets on your Apple Watch, also act like shortcuts to apps. Tap a Glance, and it opens the full app. That makes Glances, basically, an easy-access app dock. They're one of my go-to tools for using the Apple Watch.

You can add a Glance for most apps: in the Apple Watch iPhone app, click an app in settings and toggle "Show in Glances." Some apps use Glances for a topical headline; others, for a quick weather report, You can add 20 Glances maximum, so choose wisely, Again, removing them just involves toggling them off in the app settings, or in the Glances section of the app, Here's the good news: they install automatically, When you first set up your Apple Watch -- and any time after, when you download an iPhone app that works with Apple Watch -- the Apple Watch app installs them as well, Any iPhone app update that adds Apple Watch support means another installed app on your watch, That could quickly add up to dozens, or hundreds, lovecases check yo self iphone 8 / 7 case - sparkling black of apps..

Apps don't take up much space on the watch so far: I have 64 installed along with 75MB of photos and 15 songs, and have only used about 1GB of the 6.2GB of storage on the Apple Watch. You might want to get rid of apps on your watch, and it's a pretty easy process to remove them, or even re-install them again. Just like the iPhone, if you press and hold an app in the grid of circles on the Apple Watch, they all start wiggling. Tap the teeny-tiny "x" in the corner, if you can see it, and you can delete the app. It'll stay on your iPhone, but disappear from your watch.
