Apple Watch and Apple Music

[Zeebedy]

Hey guys,

I’m having trouble when playing music on my iPad or iPhone, it won’t display the information on my watch..

if someone can point me to a setting or such I need, that would be awesome.



cheers.

Go to your watch settings -> display and brightness -> Enable auto-launch audio apps

thanks for the input.

I checked “enable auto-launch audio apps” and it’s enabled?

Try going into your settings on your phone or ipad, clicking your name and seeing if the watch appears in your list of devices

You can try removing the device from that list but I don't know if it deletes your apps and resets your settings. People have suggesting restarting your watch and phone simultaneously

Will look into that.

it’s not end of the world, but if I can get it working, then it’s a bonus.

What app(s) are you using to both play and view the information?

the now playing app on the watch works for me, maybe try reinstalling that. It shows what’s being played on my home pods too

no app, i just assumed that it would auto relay the information to the watch when playing music, youtube, twitch etc..?

On the watch open up the default “now playing” should display it on the watch. Regardless of whether it’s being played from YouTube, music, overcast etc

There’s a little “play” icon that flashes at the very top middle of the screen, if not open it by going to the list of apps.
