Spinning "Heavy Rotation" on new Apple Watch Series 5

I am having the same issue as described by users years ago. I tried adding one 20-song playlist to my Apple Watch Series 5, but there is a spinning wheel under Heavy Rotation on the Apple Watch App that has been spinning for days now. And the selection is turned off. Apple Support was not helpful. Did anyone ever get an answer as to how to stop the spinning? Thank you!

Hi DMac12010,


Thanks for the reply and additional details!


You may be able to turn off an automatically added playlist like "Heavy Rotation" using these steps: Add music to Apple Watch


"Remove music from Apple Watch

  1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap My Watch, then tap Music.
  3. Turn off any automatically added playlists you don’t want on your Apple Watch.
  4. To remove other music you’ve added to Apple Watch, tap Edit, then tap  next to the unwanted items.

Music you remove from your Apple Watch remains on your iPhone."


Does that work for you?


Take care.
