But now I can’t do this!y phone and Apple Watch are connected, but I can’t control music (that is playing on IPhone) with my watch. The app “now playing” doesn’t open automatically.

and yeah, I can’t play music on my iPhone using my Apple Watch...

Try toggling it off and then back on. Also, under General > Wake Screen, scroll down to Now Playing and try the Return to App switch.


I know this is not a real fix, but you could also set up a clock face with the Now Playing complication. That might also help trigger this app when needed.
