Issues with audible app on apple watch 4

My iphone shows two audiobooks are on my watch.


When I open the audible app on my watch, the screen says "transfer a book from your phone"

I tap close and it keeps coming back to this same screen. I am unable to play either book from my watch.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

Hi 7rv9m,


It sounds like you need some help with the Audible app on your Apple Watch, and I want to help.


Check out the steps here for using Audible on Apple Watch, including options for transferring books:

If that's not solving your concern, I recommend contacting the app developer for help, with the steps here:

AFRJ, I have already done all of these steps. As I mentioned in my post, in the audible app on my phone it shows the books are on the watch. There is a little watch icon next to the ... dots.


My watch is stuck on the screen that says 'transfer a book from your iphone'. When I press on close, it closes for a second then the same screen comes back up.


My phone says the book is on the watch.


The watch says it's not.
