WatchOS 10 makes playing music on watch so much more tedious
I (presumably like many others) have always used my watch to listen to music and track my runs.
WatchOS has progressively gotten worse in being easy and obvious to play music from the watch, if you try to start it while it is in range of your phone. It defaults to try and start music by controlling the phone. I got used to it but it was always annoying.
Now with WatchOS10 it makes it REALLY unintuitive and cumbersome.
Here are the steps I have to do to start my music. The music.app is a complication on my main watch face specifically so I can easily start music before a run. (This assumes that I am in range of my phone when I want to start the music which I always am at the beginning of my run and have played music on my phone since the last time I played it on my watch, which will always be the case)
- Hit music
- Hit the 3 little dots in the upper right
- Hit airplay
- Scroll all the way to the bottom of the device list (of which I have many because this is showing every airplay destination my phone currently sees)
- Hit "Control other speakers & TVs"
- Hit Apple watch
- Hit play
That's really unintuitive and a crazy amount of steps and to do every time I want to go for a run.
Am I missing something?
They seemed to have completely overlooking people using their watch this way despite all the previous ads for working out/running while listening to music.
