Whenever I'm listening to music, the now playing screen appears when I raise my wrist. But I would rather see the modular face I've configured, it has some complications that I prefer to see over the now playing screen. Is there a way to prevent the now playing screen from appearing and force it to always stay on the modular face?
Apple Watch Series 2
Hi
Under watchOS 4.x, the Now Playing app is configured by default to be shown automatically on Apple Watch upon raising your wrist when playing supported media on your iPhone.
To turn this feature off:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Wake Screen > turn off Auto-Launch Audio Apps.
Otherwise (such as in respect of the Music app), it is normal for Apple Watch to display a session-based app upon raising your wrist whilst a session is active. There is no settings option for changing that behaviour.
