Already irritated at Siri watch face

[Ryanmrash]

I’m about 2 hours into Wos4 and giving the Siri face a tryout. Already irritated with it, due to the persistent “News” widget (or whatever we’re calling these things). I don’t even have the Apple News app installed on the Watch, nor the iPhone. Due to the fact these apps arent installed, how exactly do I get rid of the news widget from the Siri face?

On your phone, in the Watch app, select the Siri face and then choose the data sources which suit you.

Im aware, however there is no such option, as the News app is not installed.

Go to notifications & find it. Then press custom & should turn off. That’s how I disabled it.

it's installed on your phone. by "deleting" it's actually just hidden. you may need to reinstall it on your phone, in order to adjust the toggle on your watch. then you can hide it again.

Just turn off the unwanted stuff. I really love the Siri watch face. It make me very easy to read my calendar, super fast to check the coming items as well.

When i search the iPhone, News appears, but takes me to the App Store. There the tab says “open” but literally nothing happens when I push the button. I dont know where the crap its at. It’s not found anywhere in the iPhone settings either.

You have news turned off under restrictions.

Thats the trick. Thanks for that.


Ok new issue. As you see in the screenshot above, “now playing” is turned off. Guess what- now playing still shows up on the Siri face when the phone is playing music. Not a big deal, but the Siri face seems half baked so far.


A non Siri-face issue. Closed my rings after the update....No notification or new activity alert. Infact, i got a “nudge” that referenced my activity status about 3 hours earlier. Weird.

Keep in mind, the Siri face is meant to learn from you and your interactions. Personally, coming from using the beta, the Siri face in the beginning is “dumb”. After months of using it, it’s scary how well it knows what I want by just raising my wrist.

I’m hoping its that good. The “now playing” bug is absolutely annoying. I have it turned off, still the screen changes to music mode. And when you stop the music on the phone, the music app is persistent on the watch. Doesn’t disappear.

I’m not calling it a bug, but I hear you and am not impressed. Since, as stated earlier, it’s supposed to learn your habits, I’m going to give it some time.

Found the fix! Settings>General>Wake Screen. Now music can play on the phone without “now playing” appearing and staying on the watch
