How to manage watchlists in Stocks on iPhone

You can create your own watchlists to organize the stocks you follow. For example, you could organize them according to categories such as entertainment or sustainability. You can switch between watchlists, and view them on your other devices.

It’s all up to you. You can add or remove symbols, rearrange or sort them, and change the value displayed in a watchlist, and you can reorder, rename, or remove watchlists whenever you like.

Here’s how to manage watchlists in Stocks on iPhone.

Create a new watchlist

1. Start the Stocks app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the More button, then tap New Watchlist.
3. Name the watchlist, then tap Save.

To switch between watchlists, tap the Watchlist menu next to the name of the current watchlist you’re viewing, then tap the name of the watchlist you want to see.

Add symbols to a watchlist

1. Start the Stocks app on your iPhone.
2. In any watchlist, tap the Search button and then enter the name of a ticker symbol, company, fund, or index in the search field.
3. Tap the Add button next to the symbol in the search results.
4. Tap the Close button.

Quick tip: To add a symbol to another watchlist as well, swipe left on it, tap Lists, choose the watchlist you want, then tap the Done button.

Any symbol you add to a watchlist also goes into the My Symbols watchlist.

Remove symbols from a watchlist

1. Start the Stocks app on your iPhone.
2. In any watchlist, swipe left on the symbol and tap Remove.

Note: Removing a symbol from a watchlist you created leaves it in the My Symbols watchlist. But if you remove a symbol from the My Symbols watchlist, it’s also removed from your other watchlists.

Rearrange or sort symbols in a watchlist

The symbols in your watchlists can be sorted however you choose.

1. Start the Stocks app on your iPhone.
2. In the watchlist you want to sort, do any of the following:
   • Rearrange a watchlist manually: Touch and hold a symbol. Then drag to place it elsewhere in the list.
   • Sort a watchlist automatically: Tap the More button, tap Sort Watchlist By, and tap how you want to sort the list. To return to manual order after automatically sorting, tap Manual.

To reverse the order of the symbols in an automatically sorted watchlist, tap the More button, tap Sort Watchlist By, then tap Ascending or Descending.

Change the value displayed in a watchlist

Below each symbol’s price in a watchlist, you can change the value that’s displayed.

1. Start the Stocks app on your iPhone.
2. In any watchlist, tap the More button.
3. Tap Watchlist Shows and choose one of the following options:
   • Price Change
   • Percentage Change
   • Market Cap

Tap Currency to show or hide the currency for each symbol in the watchlist.

Note: Any change you make to the currency display applies everywhere in the app.
