In this tutorial we are going to show you how you can access Apple Watch App Store on iPhone running watchOS 6 and iOS 13.
If you have updated your Apple Watch to watchOS 6, then you would have noticed the brand new App Store app right on the Watch. This new App Store allows users to browse, search and install watchOS apps right on the Apple Watch. It eliminates the need of managing the App Store downloads through the Watch app on iPhone.
While it is good to have App Store app on the Apple Watch, the fact that Apple has removed the App Store entirely from the Watch app has upsetted many users. Now when you tap on the App Store tab on the Watch app you are instructed to use the watchOS App Store app.
