Spotify Apple Watch connectivity issues

My Apple Watch connects to my iPhone but when I use Spotify it doesn’t recognize that it’s connected and I can’t control my music from my watch. I could when I used my IPhone 6s but not with my iPhone 10xs

Apple Watch SE: Music keeps playing on iPhone instead of the Apple Watch Hey! I recently got the Apple Watch SE second generation and was able to play Spotify on my Apple Watch. However, when I tried playing Spotify and YouTube music on my Apple Watch the next day, it keeps playing the music on my iPhone. How do I fix this?? I want to play music on the Apple Watch only without it connecting to/playing on my iPhone. I restarted my Apple Watch, deleted and re-downloaded Spotify, and restarted my iPhone but none of it is working. Every single time I play Spotify on my Apple Watch, it ends up playing on my iPhone ugh... (Not sure if this is relevant but my bluebooth is on for my watch and iPhone, and I turned of the auto-launch audio because the internet said it would help but it is not working.

Spotify on watch Hi I recently purchased Apple Watch 5 with 4g. I bought it mainly so I can go running without my iPhone and listen to music through Wireless headphones via Spotify which I understood was possible. however despite the headphones being connected, when I click on the Spotify app on the watch no music plays. The only time it plays is when the phone is nearby and the music plays out through the phone which is useless. can someone help!?! Thanks so much

Connectivity on Apple Watch I recently got a new iPhone XR and connected my series 3 Apple Watch to it and it has suddenly had a problem connecting the Spotify app so I can’t control my music from my watch. I have uninstalled the app on both my watch and phone but it still won’t work?
