HOW TO Sort your Smart Stacks

See your Stacks

To display Smart Stacks, either swipe up from the bottom of your Apple Watch’s screen or rotate the Digital Crown upwards. You should now see a display like this, with the date and clock at the top and widgets below.

Stack your Stacks

Smart Stacks organize the widgets for you, and it gets better the more you wear your Watch. Press and hold to select a widget or widgets for the top of the Stacks, then tap the yellow pin icon on the appropriate widget to fix it.

Set their style

As with existing Smart Stacks apps, long–pressing on an app will display the widget styles if there are multiple ones available. You can then tap the widget you want and watchOS 10 will automatically add it to the Stack.

Swipe through

To move your Stacks, swipe your finger upwards or downwards, or turn the Digital Crown. The Stacks will move like a vertical carousel, displaying the selection of widgets such as your Calendar, the Weather app and so on.

Select your look

Some apps have multiple widgets you can use in Smart Stacks. For example, the Calendar app shown here has widgets showing your schedule or just the day and date in big letters. Press and hold a widget to see its available styles.

Erase an app

You may not want all the standard widgets, or you might decide you don’t want one after trying it out. To delete apps from your Smart Stack, long–press, then tap the red delete icon. This removes the widget but doesn’t uninstall the app.

See more info

The widgets give at–a–glance information; for more details, tap on an app widget to open the corresponding Apple Watch app. Here we’ve tapped on the Weather widget to see when the best time would be to walk the dog.

Add more apps

To add more apps to your Smart Stacks, swipe up to display the Stacks, and then press and hold the screen. You should now see a large button with a “+” in it; tap on that and you’ll see the app selection screen shown here.

Erase the icons

You can remove the panel of shortcut icons for Music, Workouts and Messages by scrolling to the bottom of your Smart Stack and tapping the red “–” icon — or you can move them to the top of your Stack by tapping the pin icon.
