Apps Ok seriously apple removing features on apple watch DRIVES ME MAD

[1rottenapple]

Ok I distinctly remember when I had my series 5 watch, I could browse music on my iPhone on the watch itself. Am I crazy this was a feature before on the watch but its not possible on my ultra. Super frustrating.

I don't like to use my phone at the gym (kinda gross but I have seen people use the restroom and not wash their hands) too often. So my phone stays in my bag. I try to only interact with my watch when I am at the gym but seriously it's frustrating when music browsing via apple watch feature worked before and its taken away.

I give up uploading music to my watch is so buggy! I would kill for a watch that lets me upload music directly from my computer.

Someone here told me a trick to help me sync my albums to my watch. Initiate the sync on your iPhone then turn off Bluetooth. Forces your Ultra to use WiFi. Makes moving large albums to the watch significantly faster.

As far as browsing music - I’ve never done this but I do Watch —> Apple Music —> Hit the … on the album then scroll down to “Go to Playlist” then use the crown to scroll the music. Probably not what you’re looking for tho. I can’t remember my Apple Watch 5.

The nastiness at gyms is crazy. Always brought disinfectant wipes when I used to go. Now - Apple fitness at home in front of the tv and a run in the park. Lol

A couple of watchOS versions ago, they used to allow unlimited storage on music synced from an iPhone. Nowadays, the storage limit is capped at 2GB, not enough for me to even sync 20 songs! I don't know why, but that renders 64GB storage of my Apple Watch Ultra 2 completely pointless. I would otherwise fit my entire watch with music, EASILY.

Yah the gym has wipes thankfully but I need the gym environment I push my self on squats and heavy lifts. I cant work out at home i did it for 2 years during covid. I just don’t touch my phone only after I cdone or when I need to touch my phone to change the DAMN MUSIC THANKS APPLE I’ll run into the bathroom. Ugh. First world problems I know but the feature worked before!

Interesting garmin watches let you upload music via usb? Really

That’s weird ! I’ve had a 3-5 gb workout playlist I keep offline on my watch.

Apple's weird restrictions on watchOS always rubbed me the wrong way. Like I can't just download my whole AM library, I need to use a playlist?

My favorite part is when the Music app opens because you're playing music on your phone, but it opens to the controls for whatever was playing on the watch.
