One option is to disable Smart Replies by turning off the toggle on the Default Replies screen. Then your responses will display on Apple Watch in the order you arrange them.<br/> If you prefer to leave Smart Replies turned on, you should still see your custom responses on Apple Watch. They will simply appear somewhere within the list of replies.<br/><br/> 
 <h2> Edit or Remove Custom Message Responses </h2> If you want to change a message response you’ve created or remove one you no longer use, this is also quite simple.
