How much space is left on Apple Watch, how to check? Current models of Apple Watch smartwatches come with 32 GB (the first models had only 8 GB) of internal flash memory, but in reality there is not much space available to users, since some of the memory is reserved for the operating system, applications, cache and other system files.

By analogy with other “apple” gadgets, Apple Watch allows you to check the amount of memory, the amount of memory available to the user and how much space on the device is occupied by certain applications. How to do this will be discussed below.
How to check the amount of free memory on Apple Watch?
There are two ways to determine how much storage is available on your Apple Watch: directly on the watch, or in an app on your iPhone (which requires pairing with your iPhone).
On iPhone:
- Open the Watch app on your paired iPhone;
- Click the My Watch tab at the bottom of the screen;
- Go to “General” → “About device”.
The amount of free space will be listed next to the “Available” option, and the total amount of memory (excluding the system partition) will be listed next to the “Capacity” option.
On Apple Watch:
- Press the Digital Crown to bring up the home screen, then press Settings. As an alternative method, you can call Siri by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and instructing “Open Settings”.
- In the Settings app, tap General → About device.
This section will display data on the total amount of memory, the amount of available space, as well as information on how much space is occupied by music, photos, applications. Here you can also find out the device name (you can change it if you wish), watchOS version, model / serial number, and other information.
How to check how much space apps are taking up on Apple Watch?
- Open the Apple Watch app on the connected iPhone;
- Click the My Watch tab at the bottom of the screen;
- Click “General” → “Storage”.
Information about the amount of used and free space will be available at the top of the screen, data for each application – on the right.
How to remove an app from Apple Watch?
Apps from Apple Watch can be deleted directly on the device or through the Watch app on iPhone.
The process for deleting apps on the Apple Watch is identical to the one on iOS—press and hold the app icon until it wiggles. Then touch the application again and confirm the deletion by pressing the appropriate button.
To uninstall an app through the Watch app on iPhone, tap the My Watch tab, select the app you want from the list, and set the Show on Apple Watch switch to off.
