How to Force Quit an App on Apple Watch

Apps ‘just work’ on Apple Watch.  But sometimes, they do go rouge and stop working (i.e. lock up).  Here’s how to force quit an app on Apple Watch.

1. While inside the locked up, press and hold the side button.
2. Hold the button until the power off screen appears.
3. Let go of the side button.
4. Press and hold the Digital Crown until the locked app quits.
5. That’s it.

If you continue having problems with the app, delete it, and then redownload it.
