iWatch, turn off crown volume control

I frequently get my ears blasted when im using my iphone to play white noise via my ispeaker. Im finding it REALLY annoying that my iWatch defaults to volume controls when i HAVE the device im using im my hands already. I know pressing the crown dismisses it but sometimes i forget then end up hating apple just a little bit every time my ears bleed. I would like to turn off this “feature” or at the very least not make it the default. Help?

Hello *Michael,


We see you have concerns with volume coming through your iPhone or Apple Watch speaker when you are playing audio. It sounds like you might be referring to the Now Playing audio as described here: Use Now Playing on Apple Watch


If so, that's a current expected feature. We'd encourage you to submit this feedback through the official form here: Product Feedback - Apple


If there are concerns with extremely high volume causing issues, we'd suggest you reach out to Apple Support directly. You can reach them here: Get Support


You can also find the support phone number for your region at this link: Contact Apple for support and service


All the best.
