The issue you're experiencing with Apple Music on your Apple Watch seems to be related to the app not properly recognising its companion installation on your iPhone. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:


Basic Troubleshooting:


1. Restart Both Devices: Turn off your Apple Watch and iPhone, and then turn them back on.

2. Update Software: Ensure that both your iPhone and Apple Watch are updated to the latest software.

3. Check App Installation: Make sure the Apple Music app is installed on your iPhone.


Advanced Steps:


1. Unpair and Pair Again: Sometimes, issues can be resolved by unpairing your Apple Watch from your iPhone and then pairing them again.

- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.

- Go to 'My Watch' and tap 'All Watches'.

- Tap the 'info' button next to the watch you want to unpair.

- Tap 'Unpair Apple Watch' and follow the on-screen instructions.

- After unpairing, set up your Apple Watch again and pair it with your iPhone.


2. Reinstall Apple Music on iPhone:

- On your iPhone, delete the Apple Music app.

- Restart your iPhone.

- Reinstall the Apple Music app from the App Store.


3. Check iCloud Account: Ensure you are signed into the same iCloud account on both your iPhone and Apple Watch.


Final Resort:


- Reset Apple Watch: If none of the above steps work, you might need to completely reset your Apple Watch. Note that this will erase all data on the watch.

- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.

- Go to 'My Watch' and tap 'General'.

- Scroll down and tap 'Reset'.

- Tap 'Erase Apple Watch Content and Settings'.


After trying these steps, check if the issue has been resolved.


If the problem persists, it would be best to consult Apple Support for further assistance.
