Remove Music Control from Apple Watch

Is it possible to stop my watch to mirror or automatically control playback on my iPhone? Usually I want to see the watch face and not the reduced clock when I take a glimpse on my watch.

sossey,


If you're referencing the Now Playing screen that appears on Apple Watch when something is playing from the companion iPhone, try this -

Navigate to the Watch app on your iPhone > My Watch tab > Display & Brightness. Do you see a setting for 'Auto-launch Audio apps'? If so, turn that off. Then test.


Thanks.
