Apple Watch compass

My husband and I got Apple watches for Christmas (7s). Mine has the Compass app preloaded. My husband’s did not. We cannot figure out how to install it on the watch.

First, he needs to download the Compass app on his iPhone from the Apple App Store.

  • Open App Store on his iPhone
  • Tap Search then type Compass
  • Compass app by Apple.


Restore a built-in app that you deleted

  1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
  3. Tap  to restore the app.
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.

If you have an Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch.
