[HUAWEI] Managing apps on your 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 on your watch using the Huawei Health app

  1. Open the Huawei Health app, touch Devices, and select your device card to enter the device details screen.
  2. Touch App​Gallery, and 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 the Huawei Health app, touch Devices, and select your device card to enter the device details screen.
  2. Touch App​Gallery, and go to Manager > Updates > UPDATE to update apps to their latest versions.

Uninstalling apps

  1. Open the Huawei Health app, touch Devices, and select your device card to enter the device details screen.
  2. Touch App​Gallery, and 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 the Huawei Health app, 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 in 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.

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, and drag it upward or downward.
