iPhone users: You're getting the new Apple Watch app, whether you want it or not.

The app, which debuted Monday as part of the iOS 8.2 update, is automatically downloaded onto iPhones with the update and cannot be deleted.

Interestingly, this only applies to iPhones; the iPad version of the 8.2 update doesn't include the app

Right now, the app doesn't do much other than show promotional videos for the wearable. But once the Apple Watch goes on sale, you can use the app to pair your phone and manage apps via a dedicated App Store.
