watchOS 10 - How to disable this annoying audio / "listening now" notification dot?

[Boardiesboi]

Updated to watchOS 10 this morning and this annoying audio / listening now notification dot has suddenly appeared.

I don't have this on in watchOS 9.

Does anyone know how to turn this off?
I've tried what others have suggested: on AW Settings > General > Auto launch > Toggle off "auto launch audio apps"
I've toggled this on, rebooted, toggled off, rebooted again and this dot is still there.

Is this a bug or a feature? I hate it.

You've made me the happiest! I am so glad this is back! There was something similar in OS8 (and before) and it was removed in OS9 and it was a huge pain to get to my now playing. But it's back!!!!!!!! Literally made my day.

(P.S. Sorry that you don't like it. I don't think it can be turned off though)

I updated as well last night, and I have a pulsing orange dot on the watch face. Can't seem to get rid of it.
