Hello JLARMSTRONG,
We understand that the Now Playing app no longer opens on your Apple Watch when listening to music on your iPhone. We're happy to assist you with this!
Let's try the steps in the article below for help with that app not opening on your watch.
If an app unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
Restart the phone and watch and test to see if the app is now working on your watch.
Let us know if that worked for you.
