Before you start

watchOS 10 or later; widget types, count, and automatic suggestions vary by version.

A watch face does not need to hold everything. Put information you check occasionally in Smart Stack to keep the face clear and useful.

01Open Smart Stack from the face

Turn the Digital Crown upward on the watch face, or swipe up from the bottom of the screen, to view the current widgets.

02Edit what you need

Touch and hold a widget to enter editing. Use Add to choose supported widgets and remove items you rarely use.

03Pin the things you check most

If your version offers a pin button, pin frequently used items. Exit editing and tap a widget to confirm the shortcut.

That’s it

You can reach the items you kept quickly from the watch face.

Questions you may have

Why did a workout or timer appear at the top?

Active activities may appear in Smart Stack. Automatic suggestions and manually pinned widgets can coexist, depending on the system version.
