Apple Watch audio apps

Hi, I have an Apple Watch series 3 that I got about a month or so ago. Every time I open my watch with music playing either Spotify or the “now playing” app comes up. I have “auto launch audio apps turned off, I have for a while and it worked, but it just started launching them anyway after I updated my watch recently. I turned the setting on and off again, I restarted my Apple Watch, and even completely disconnected it from my phone and restored it from a back up. It actually worked when I restored it, but after a day or two, it’s back! How do I make sure it stops launching the audio apps? Thanks

Hello Guitar_is_cool


From what I'm gathering is the Apple Watch Series 3 when using "Spotify" Now Playing comes up as default, correct?


Before doing a second restore and setting up as new. Is the watchOS up-to-date: watchOS 6.2.5


Remove the app and add the app back to the Apple Watch: Delete a built-in app from your device


If a restore from a back up has been done. The next step of software troubleshooting would be setting the watch up as new: Set up your Apple Watch


After a set up as new if the issue continues. I would encourage you to reach out to Apple Support directly. They will be able to provide you with additional information and review different options with you: Contact Apple Support


Hopefully this helps!


Cheers!
