Switch to Apple Watch List View for browsing installed apps comfortably

List View Apple Watch

By default, the app icons on your watch screen are displayed in a honeycomb-like Grid layout. You can easily change this appearance and switch to Apple Watch List View layout. It not only corrects the awful arrangement of apps if you don’t like it but also makes all icons appear in the same size.

How to switch to Apple Watch to List view

The app icons on Apple Watch Home Screen can be viewed in 2 modes, Grid View and ListView. In Grid View, the icons around the borders or the edges of the Watch appear quite tiny in comparison to the inner icons. So, if your eyesight is weak there’s a good chance that you may fail to spot the app you are looking for. This problem can be fixed by switching to Apple Watch List View.
