Got a tip for us?

Just because this reason, I’m asking on different threads If someone with iOS 14 and watchOS 7 beta can check if the problem persists.
If the problem persists, maybe I will try starting this frustrating and hard solution. But if someones checks betas and the problem is solved, I will wait for final release

Is it fixed yet ? Seems to play music bought on iTunes but doesn’t play anything that wasn’t. It always used to work.

They don’t care. At all. They have your money, they are not interested any more, unless you have more money they can have.
