Once you get the hang of installing apps on your new Apple Watch it’s no big deal, but if you’ve just peeled the protective film off you’re probably left a bit puzzled as to how your new watch works. Let’s take a look at how to get apps from your iPhone to your watch.

一旦可以在新的Apple Watch上安装应用程序就可以了，但这没什么大不了的，但是如果您刚刚剥去保护膜，您可能会对新手表的工作方式感到困惑。 让我们看一下如何将应用程序从iPhone转到手表。

If you’re smartphone veteran, be it on iPhone or Android doesn’t matter, you’re used to the routine. Open the app store application for your device, find the app you want, click “Install” and you’re done.

如果您是智能手机的资深人士，无论是在iPhone还是Android上都没关系，那么您已经习惯了。 打开适用于您设备的应用商店应用程序，找到所需的应用程序，然后单击“安装”即可。

When it comes to installing applications on your Apple Watch, however, things are a little trickier than simply selecting the application in the App Store. Let’s take a look at how to find apps and install them on your watch.

但是，在Apple Watch上安装应用程序时，要比在App Store中选择应用程序复杂一些。 让我们看一下如何找到应用并将其安装在手表上。

Not all iOS applications are inherently compatible with the Apple Watch platform (Watch OS) but there are certainly lots of developers on board with the watch. You can find apps for your watch via two methods. First, you can look for them via the traditional method in the App Store application on your iOS device or by browsing application listings on the Apple web site.

并非所有iOS应用程序都固有地与Apple Watch平台(Watch OS)兼容，但是肯定有很多开发人员使用该手表。 您可以通过两种方法找到适合自己手表的应用。 首先，您可以通过iOS设备上App Store应用程序中的传统方法或通过浏览Apple网站上的应用程序列表来查找它们。

When you’re browsing apps via the App Store application any app that has a companion Apple Watch/Watch OS app will have a designation beneath it, “Offers Apple Watch App” like so.

当您通过App Store应用程序浏览应用程序时，任何具有配套Apple Watch / Watch OS应用程序的应用程序都将在其下方带有一个名称，即“提供Apple Watch App”。

By combining search terms like “fitness tracker” and “apple watch” you’ll quickly turn up lists of apps with the “Offers Apple Watch App” designation.

通过将“健身追踪器”和“ Apple Watch”之类的搜索词组合在一起，您将快速打开“ Offers Apple Watch App”名称的应用程序列表。

It’s far more expedient, however, to search from the actual Apple Watch application as it has a built-in App Store interface fine tuned just for Watch OS apps.

但是，从实际的Apple Watch应用程序进行搜索更为方便，因为它具有专门针对Watch OS应用程序进行了微调的内置App Store界面。

If you open the Apple Watch app and tap the “Featured” star in the bottom navigation panel, you’ll launch the watch-centric app store with suggested apps and app genres just like the full-fledged app store.

如果您打开Apple Watch应用程序并点击底部导航面板中的“精选”星号，您将以建议的应用程序和应用程序类型启动以手表为中心的应用程序商店，就像功能完善的应用程序商店一样。

We’ve been meaning to see if there is an app for our favorite to-do list software, Todoist, so let’s search for that now with the search feature.

我们一直想知道是否有一个我们最喜欢的待办事项列表软件Todoist的应用程序，所以现在让我们使用搜索功能进行搜索。

Great! There is a watch app! Now here’s where it gets a little tricky. The “Open” button would make it seem like we already have the watch app installed, yes? If you tap open, however, it opens the Todoist app on our iPhone and has nothing, really, to do with the Watch OS app. In order to get the app on our watch we need to install it manually from the Apple Watch app. Let’s look at how to do that now.

大！ 有一个手表应用程序！ 现在，这里变得有些棘手。 “打开”按钮看起来好像我们已经安装了watch应用，是吗？ 但是，如果您点击打开，它将在我们的iPhone上打开Todoist应用，而实际上与Watch OS应用无关。 为了在我们的手表上安装该应用程序，我们需要从Apple Watch应用程序手动安装它。 让我们看看现在如何做。

Continuing with the example above of the Todoist watch app, let’s look at the Apple Watch application and how to install the Watch OS app. To do so we need to open up the Apple Watch app and scroll down the main screen past the default entries like “App Layout” and “General” down into the list of Watch OS applications until we find the name of the application whose Watch OS companion app we wish to install.

继续上面的Todoist watch应用程序的示例，让我们看一下Apple Watch应用程序以及如何安装Watch OS应用程序。 为此，我们需要打开Apple Watch应用程序并向下滚动主屏幕，越过默认条目(例如“ App Layout”和“ General”)进入Watch OS应用程序列表，直到找到其Watch OS的应用程序名称。我们希望安装的配套应用。

Select the application.

选择应用程序。

In the application submenu you’ll always find the entry “Show App on Apple Watch”, and often find “Show in Glances” (although not every application offers support for the Glances view on the Apple Watch).

在应用程序子菜单中，您将始终找到“在Apple Watch上显示应用程序”条目，并经常找到“在Glances中显示”(尽管并非每个应用程序都支持Apple Watch上的Glances视图)。

At minimum you need to toggle “Show App on Apple Watch” to install the application and, if you wish, you can add it to the list of Glances by toggling “Show in Glances”.

至少您需要切换“在Apple Watch上显示应用程序”以安装该应用程序，并且，如果愿意，可以通过切换“显示在Glances中”将其添加到Glances列表中。

Once it finishes installing you’ll find the application on your Apple Watch by tapping on the digital crown of your watch and selecting the app from the displayed applications, as seen above. Once the app is launched you can use the crown and/or on screen touch navigation, depending on what the developer has enabled; in the final screenshot above you can see us accessing our Todoist project list, for example.

完成安装后，您可以通过点击手表的数字表冠并从显示的应用程序中选择该应用程序，在Apple Watch上找到该应用程序，如上所示。 应用启动后，您可以使用表冠和/或屏幕触摸导航，具体取决于开发者已启用的功能； 例如，在上面的最终屏幕截图中，您可以看到我们正在访问Todoist项目列表。

One final tweak you may wish to enable is to toggle on automatic installation so that as you install applications on your iPhone that have companion Apple Watch apps then those apps will be automatically installed on the watch.

您可能希望启用的最后一项调整是启用自动安装，以便在iPhone上安装具有配套Apple Watch应用程序的应用程序时，这些应用程序将自动安装在手表上。

To do so simply open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and select “General”.

为此，只需在iPhone上打开Apple Watch应用程序，然后选择“常规”即可。

Then under the General settings select “App Install”.

然后在常规设置下选择“应用程序安装”。

Toggle “Automatic App Install” on and in the future all companion apps will be automatically installed on the Apple Watch with no intervention on your behalf.

切换“自动安装应用程序”，以后所有配套应用程序将自动安装在Apple Watch上，而无需您干预。
