Apple Watch Music Not Playing
When listening to music on your Apple Watch, you may find it stops playing unexpectedly. There are several reasons why this could be happening, and troubleshooting the issue is usually straightforward.
The most likely culprit is that your Apple Watch has run out of battery. If you’ve just charged your watch, give it a few minutes to start playing music again. If the problem persists, try restarting your watch by holding down the side button until you see the Power Off slider, then drag it to the right.
If your watch has enough battery, the problem could be related to a glitch in Apple Music. To fix this, try force-quitting Apple Music on your watch. To do this, press the side button to open the app switcher, then swipe up on the Apple Music card to close it.
Another possible cause is that your watch’s speaker is dirty or blocked. To check this, try playing a song on your watch and placing your finger over the speaker. If the music sounds muffled, try cleaning the speaker with a soft, dry cloth.
Finally, if you’re still having trouble, you can try unpairing your watch and repairing it. To do this, open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then tap Music. Next, tap Synced Music, then tap Unsynced Music. Finally, tap Remove Unsynced Music, then sync your watch again.
If you’re still having trouble, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
