As the title says, I don't like how the new Music app works on watchOS 4.
On watchOS 3, I can easily play music on my car's Bluetooth speaker by tapping Now Playing complications on my watch face. It streams music from my iPhone. Now it's not possible anymore.
We have two choices: Play music from the watch directly or start the music from iPhone then control the music from Now Playing app, which now has no complication, therefore no easy access with a single tap from the watch face.
And why does this bother me?
The first option is not ideal because as soon as I turn on my Bluetooth speaker, it connects to my iPhone too (it seems the speaker prioritises the iPhone), therefore, the watch can't connect to the speaker as it has been occupied by my phone. The solution is to forget the Bluetooth speaker on my iPhone, so only the watch can connect to it. This is not a good solution, though, as sometimes I want to play some songs that were not downloaded on my watch.
The second option is also not ideal because now I have to start the music from my phone instead of my watch. I have to take out the phone from my pocket first, play, then put it back to my pocket. I own a 7 Plus, so taking out and in from my jeans' pocket while sitting in a car is not convenient as well.
The only thing I can think of why the new Music app is useful is for people who work out and want to leave their iPhone somewhere whilst they're working out. But it's not me.
Who shares the same feeling with me?
