watchOS4 switches to whats playing music

[craigd]

Guys

Is there a way to stop watchOS4 from going to the whats playing screen every time I play music in the car or listen to podcasts.

When the music stops and I get out of the car the playing screen persists.

Its really annoying. I use the Siri face if that makes a difference.

Yes. In the Watch app on your iPhone go to General -> Activate Screen (?) -> Launch Audio Apps (?). Turn off the toggle on Launch Audio Apps. I found this and turned it off within a couple days of installing the watchOS 4 beta. I hated it too.

(? = I'm not sure of the exact menu names in English. In French, it's Activer l'écran => Lancer les apps audio.)
