I had 3 apps on my watch that all were automatically installed from the phone.
One of them, Volvo Oncall stopped working and continually asked me to re-sign in on the phone. I gather this a known problem and the way to fix it is to reset and reload the watch.
The other two apps, LG ThinQ. and MyQ are both similar apps, really I think all they do is relay notifications and that is fine. ( from the laundry and the garage door respectively)

So I reset the watch and after it had recovered and synced the Volvo app was back, the MyQ app was back but the ThinQ app was not. I deleted that app from the phone and reinstalled it and it still wasn’t there. I did notice that in the Watch app on the phone that LG ThinQ was still displayed in the notifications section...I wonder if this meant that the app thought it was still installed.

I post this here as I presume this is a Watch app on the phone problem not a watch problem. I’d rather not reset the watch again.

So is there a way to force the app to be installed? Or maybe completely deleted so the automatic process will install it?
