I have "Change with Buttons" on. While playing music, the side buttons control music volume; when not playing music or other media, the side buttons control ringer volume. I apologize if I'm missing something.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone having any issues playing music on Apple Watch with this iOS beta? I used to be able to tell my Apple Watch to play an album and it would play from my iPhone’s music library (I don’t use Apple Music). Now when I ask my Apple Watch to play a song or album the Siri interface just stops and nothing happens. Only started since iOS 11.4 betas. I have an Apple Watch series 3 (non-cellular) on 4.3 (non-beta) and iPhone X on 11.4 beta 5. Tried hard resets and unpairing/repairing.
Pretty sure you’re Wrong.
Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, made the comment himself!

Here's the quote from the article:
The key word in there is reportedly. No one has commented publicly on this. While it will be good if they do devote a lot of iOS 12 energy to fixing bugs and ironing things out generally, I guarantee you there will be new features of some sort. Just not the 200 or so they usually have, all told.
Yes. I choose a playlist on the phone (using the Watch) and the Watch refuses to play it. If I wait long enough, it will play a random song from another playlist.
I doubt B1 will be stable enough for daily driver, especially if they are going for stability as a lot of code will need to be refactored.
Is that supposed to be one of the default wallpapers on the 2018 iPad?
Edit: Nevermind, I don't think it is. Looks like the wallpapers that are around are recreations of that wallpaper done by some designer online. Still, looks cool though.
Thanks for the reply! I guess I’ll see how beta 6 goes or perhaps WatchOS just needs to be updated to 4.4.
Still no success with beta 6. I wonder if it's really the beta or if my Watch is glitchy. I may restore to 11.3.1 tomorrow to check.
EDIT: @Kermetajb Went back to 11.3.1 and it works perfectly as far as playing music on my iPhone 8 Plus from the Watch. Guess the betas are borking it for now.
One thing the betas have fixed is that when I click on a YouTube link in landscape mode, YouTube opens and immediately begins playing the video in landscape mode, Before, I had the wrestle with the damned phone to get the video to go into landscape mode. That's a big plus for me as far as the latest betas.

That's what I'm kinda hoping for... Assuming iOS 12 is a fancy name for iOS 11.5...
Hey thanks so much for letting me know that. Yes I too noticed that beta 6 was still a problem with this. Like I said I’m just hoping that maybe watchOS 4.4 fixes this. Unfortunately I can’t test that since I’m only on the public beta.
@Banglazed perhaps this could be added to the bug list unless you can confirm otherwise?

@Banglazed for your reference and the whole story.
