Apps Spotify: volume control on Apple Watch

[lupedelupe]

My AW volume control works if I use Apple Music, but not when I use Spotify (it moves but is greyed out and has no effect on sound).

I play music from iPhone, controlled via Watch, to Apple TV.

Please confirm if it works (or not) on your side with current iOS, WatchOS and tvOS. Thanks.

Same issue with AW and Spotify.

It works for me on my AW5 with WatchOS 6, however it lags a bit when turning the volume up or down.

 

[lupedelupe]

Cannot imagine why it would work for some and not others.

Works on mine most of the time. A few times it’s been laggy though, thought it was broken then started responding.

Apple Watch controlling Spotify on iPhone playing on headphones = AW volume control works

Apple Watch controlling Spotify on iPhone playing on Apple TV = AW volume control does not work. And Spotify has verified this.

Either poor programming from Spotify or Apple making third-party AW dev life complicated.

Hopfully that'll be fixed in an upcoming update.

Just updated Spotify this AM & volume control on my AW4 is functional.
