The Apple Watch offers a wide range of applications that you can use every day. After leaving an app, it is put on hold in the background, so that you can open it again quickly at a later time.
If desired, you can take out open Apple Watch applications. You can do this manually, but also forced if they do not function or get stuck well, so that the system can try again to load the application correctly. This also helps to save battery and to resolve connection problems when the app no ​​longer responds.
