I listen to music on my Apple Watch regularly, I know how to add and remove music, etc. Yesterday in the middle of a song my apple watch stopped playing and has not been able to start playing again since. The same music works when I play it through the apple music app on my iphone. I press play and it looks like its going to play and then it just doesn't. Please help!! I use this feature daily and this is driving me nuts. Thanks!
Apple Watch Series 3
I have the exact same issue. I have tried unpairing, deleting all music, resyncing, restarting my watch and iPhone, turning Bluetooth on and off, unpairing my AirPods, etc. It will work without issues for a few days and then suddenly, the music on my Apple watch just stops playing. I can't make it start again by doing anything - all the troubleshooting tips don't work (and I've searched for weeks). Then I'll try again later and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The issue isn't consistent.
It's not my AirPods, because they work with phone calls and my iPhone. All Apple music and radio works with my iPhone, but it's very unreliable with the watch. It's especially frustrating when I leave for a walk without my iPhone and it won't work.
I have an iPhone 8 and my watch is a series 3 with an active cellular plan. All my software is always up-to-date. To me, it seems like it's a bug either with Apple Music, or with the watch OS. Either way, this needs to be fixed.
Have you called AppleCare and reported it?
I’ve been having this issue too lately and once or twice I have been able to get it to start working again but I usually had to refresh everything multiple times
Hello alice_123,
Yes of course, we're doing this right now, otherwise we cannot do nothing else and this is not a comfortable way to use our iWatch.
So I also have sent feedback to Apple team.
Hello everyone,
My Apple Watch was fixed by itself, just now I have tried to play and change the playing list on the watch and it works. I suggest to all of you to try it, maybe is fixed.
