My Question or Issue

While listening with AirPods, I can control song playback but cannot adjust volume using the watch. I have confirmed that with Apple's music or podcasts apps, I am still able to adjust the volume with the watch, this is only an issue with Spotify.

Hey there folks,

Thanks for posting in this thread and for the provided info.

Due to updates on iOS, Spotify users no longer can use their iPhone's volume controls to change the volume on connected speakers. Instead, please use the volume slider in the device menu.

The Community's here should you need help with anything else. Have a good one!

Rumour has it v8.9.44 has fixed the issue.

This works for volume--thanks! However it doesn't allow you to pause or skip to next song, etc. Sigh. Still frustrated.

Well whaddya know--it seems to be fixed. . . kind of. It works, but it's still very inconsistent. It works a little then it stops working then it starts again. But a little progress is better than nothing!

Hey Amuzik,

I'm still facing this issue on my apple watch. Any solution you can recommend?

Thanks and regards

Only works 0.17% of the time. Even if you force quit the watch app and reopen, it's either trying to monkey with track playing (where it is in the timeline) or nothing.
