Hi,
My Now Playing complication appears to be broken. When I click on it, it shows what's playing correctly, but not within the complication itself. This worked in watchOS 10, but seems to be broken in watchOS 11.
Any ideas? This is a Series 6.
Apple Watch Series 6
Did you try another watch face that also offers the Now Playing complication?
The Modular watch face seems not to support this feature anymore:

The new Smart Stack feature "Live Activities" on the Apple Watch has somehow replaced the "Now Playing" complication.

If you want the Now Playing Complications back, let Apple know directly by using the Feedback link:

Interesting, but I guess it's not the full story.
Now Playing indeed suddenly disappeared from the Modular watch face according to Apple Watch faces and their features - Apple Support (MK).
But there are other watch faces that still support this Now Playing complication, e.g. Nike Compact. This is exactly the same complication and I can still create a watch face with it. However, Nike Compact doesn't show the currently playing song either...
It also doesn't show my HomePod's name but it says (null)...
I still hope it's some kind of bug. It was really nice to just glance and see what's playing instead of having to resort to Smart Stack which is a button press.

Useful info! Comes across as a work in progress. Because they still offer the non-functioning Now Playing complication in lots of watch faces. Why didn't they just eliminate this complication entirely?
Anyway, I hope they just fix the existing complication.
Definitely let Apple know your thoughts:

Did you already have a look at this external article about the Now Playing feature?
