How to clear Recents on Apple Watch

Nov 5, 2021 10:03 AM in response to CatMom-InCharge In response to CatMom-InCharge

Hi CatMom-InCharge, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are looking to disable the Recents feature of Timers because it is stacked above the preset that you almost exclusively use.

There is no option within the Timers app that allows the user to delete Recents or disable Recents.

While this is not a resolution that we recommend, it is possible to delete your Recents by deleting the Timers app, then reinstall it though the App Store on your Apple Watch.

We strive to bring the best personal computing experience to customers around the world through our innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings. We welcome your feedback on our products here: Product Feedback - Apple

Take care!
