Have linked to my StackExchange post above, but will copy the text below:

"So, while not doing anything on my phone or watch, I received this notification on my Apple Watch:

Photo of Apple Watch asking if I want to delete "Camera Remote"

I have some questions:

* What the hell is "Camera Remote"?? * Why would my Apple Watch randonmly ask me if I want to delete it, when my iPhone is sitting unused on my desk (I also wasn't interacting with my Apple Watch in any way)?

I hit "Cancel", I am on iOS 17.0.2 and watchOS 10.0.1.

Thanks"

Do I need to be worried??

It lets you use your Apple Watch to take a picture on your iPhone as long as the iPhone is within bluetooth range. I assume that the person who is asking this question somehow opened the remote app on their watch but did not realize that they had done so.
I honestly didn't touch either device, was watching TV at the time.

Can I recreate this?

Also why would it want to "uninstall" itself?
