I was able to control youtube from my iwatch 1 through "now playing". The only item listed to control now is music. How do I get back control of youtube playing on my iPhone?
Apple Watch Series 3, iOS 4, GPS and cellular
Hi
The Now Playing app on Apple Watch no longer supports controlling the playback of video within the YouTube app on your iPhone.
Under watchOS 4, for controlling playback of music from your iPhone rather than the synced playlists on Apple Watch, then - other than by using Siri - it is necessary to first start playback on your iPhone before being able to control playback on your Apple Watch.
When you are already playing supported audio on your iPhone (whether via the Music app or a third-party app), the Now Playing app is shown automatically in the Dock on your Apple Watch and can be used to control playback on your iPhone.
If desired, Now Playing can be added to the Dock permanently and/or added to a watch face as a complication.
Follow the instructions here:
If the Music and/or Now Playing apps no longer offer all of the features that you would prefer, then you can submit a feature request to Apple here:
