Work Communication App Slack Remove its Apple Watch App

Slack explains the removal in the release notes:

Apple Watch users, there’s now one iOS app for all of your needs. We’ve removed the standalone Watch App, but rest assured, receiving and replying to messages from your wrist works the same as before. It’s like two for the price of one, but with apps.

The Slack Apple Watch allowed users to view DMs and @ replies in their workspaces.

Slack joins a number of other popular apps – like Amazon, eBay, and Target – in removing a native app for the Apple Watch platform.

While the Apple Watch was originally positioned as a new platform for apps, Apple has changed its focus to health and fitness and notifications for the device.
