WatchOS 7.5 stops music fully when timer ends, or Siri activated. Does not resume automatically.
Prior to the release of WatchOS 7.5, when the timer would end, Siri activated, or a phone call came in, the music playing through AirPods would pause, and automatically restart after “Ending” the timer, silencing/ending Siri, ending the phone call. I use my watch timer when at the gym; and keep my phone with me to listen to my music downloaded on iTunes (not the Apple Music pandora service thing). But ever since watchOS 7.5 was released, now when the timer ends (the radar alarm alerts), if Siri is activated by pressing the crown, or a phone call comes in, the music stops like it did before, but it does not resume anymore. I have to go in to the music app and press “play” again to restart the song.
I’ve done hard resets on both watch and phone. I unpaired the watch and set it up as new again (at the recommendation of Apple Support). I’ve reset all settings on my phone (at the recommendation of Apple Support). None of this has fixed the failure to auto-resume the music playing.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any help in fixing and getting auto-resume to reinstate? I can’t find a toggle in settings anywhere, and Apple claims there isn’t one anyway.
super annoying.
