How To Hide the new Apple Watch icon from your iPhone homescreen

If you’ve updated your iPhone to the latest version of iOS (8.2) you’ll see the new Apple Watch app on your homescreen. This isn’t useful unless you own (or are planning to buy) an Apple Watch. Because Apple have decided to make this a default iOS app (similar to Photos, Camera and iBooks),
it means you can’t delete it. However, it’s easy to hide the Apple Watch icon.

To update your iPhone, open Settings, tap General, Software Update, then ‘Download and Install’. Your device will restart as the update is installed.

You’ll now see the new Apple Watch icon on your homescreen. To hide it, tap and hold any app until all your app icons start shaking (and display an ‘X’ symbol in one corner). Now tap and drag the Apple Watch icon over any other app to create an app folder containing both apps. Once it’s in the folder, tap the Apple Watch icon and drag it to the bottom of your iPhone screen. When you see your
dock (the four apps at the bottom of your screen), release the Apple Watch icon, and you won’t see it on your homescreen anymore.

You’ll still be able to access it by swiping down from the top of your device, then typing apple watch in Spotlight Search.
