yeah when I'm using another streaming app nothing even shows in now playing.

This really used to work a lot better.

Maybe unpair and repair your watch, because all my third party poo poo show up in the "Now Playing" just fine. Again not the "Music" app.


Here it is working with everything, Microsoft Groove, SiriusXM, Pandora and Spotify(prior post)


Again make sure this app is in your dock



Yeah it's loving dumb.

The good now playing doesn't even have a complication either.

You must have removed it from your dock thinking it was redundant. That'll learn you to not delete that which you do not understand!

I noticed this "feature" like the day I bought the watch and it has been stuck in my head as retarded. I messed around with a bit, there's no actual even now playing app in the big app layout crown button thing, it's strictly a thing you can add to your dock. Anyway again it stuck in my head as something that might trip people up, hence the reason I went through the effort of taking all the photos, it's super loving non-intuitive.

But yeah the "Music" phone app is strictly an Apple Music app companion. Now Playing app is for everything(music included). I guess Now Playing app is analogous to the control center thing when you swipe up from the bottom of your phone.

Watch UI is fine but they really could have integrated the generalized player control into the watch Music app just to make it more convenient. Especially as there's no complication for now playing, requiring you to go to the Dock to gently caress with it. Where the music App you can front and center on the modular watch face.

For example you can be playing music through Spotify and Pandora etc.. and be able to control it through going to the Dock then to Now Playing but if you're using a watch face built around playing poo poo it'll sit like this stuck, and pretending nothing is playing

iTunes actually got most of it's hoop-jumping flaws fixed a while ago. People are too busy paying Apple to listen to their own music and back up their phones to have noticed though.

Well I will need to take another look at that then! I swear recently I encountered the same thing but will give it a go.

So is texting via Siri even stupider with iOS 10 for anyone else? I'm asking Siri to text my wife (by name), Siri asks which number to use (mobile or home) and then gives me some bullshit excuse about not being able to find that person.

We're both on iPhones, both use iMessage and have an active iMessage conversation thread going. This worked a-ok pre upgrade.

I haven't had any issues, and I use Siri to text some friends with weird names that I'm surprised she gets right. Is the number you want to text added as a favorite in the Phone app? I believe I've heard that it helps Siri with determining recipients.

Why I don't know.

Thank you so much! I can't believe it's that difficult, but this saved my rear end because I pay for 6 family members on Spotify and had no interest in switching to Apple Music besides working with the watch. I'm getting Airpods day one so not being able to control my music via the watch would have been a deal breaker, as the pods really need the watch for easy volume/track control.

And just to counter that one guy that said "hey don't delete things from your dock until you understand it" that was NOT on my dock, ever.

I can't believe this is actually a thing. Anti-competitive dick move by Apple (even by their standards).

Has anyone else had issues with Bluetooth clipping in ios10? It's extremely annoying hearing a .05s stutter every 5 seconds. Experiencing it with a Flip 2 speaker but not in my car.

Looked back a few pages to see if anyone else was having the same problem as me.
I got some Jaybird X2 earbuds and when going out for a walk or something with my 7 Plus, the audio literally cuts out every few seconds unless I hold the phone in my hand with my elbows at 90 degrees, like above my midsection. In my pocket or even sometimes in my hand with my arms relaxed, the audio cuts out like crazy.
I've used the buds with my iPad and been able to walk around the kitchen while cooking with no issue.

BT in 10 (or 10.1 beta, not sure) is wonky. At least on my 7+.

Used to work a treat in my car... now it hitches and glitches and sometimes stops. (This is exacerbated by any kind of phone "thinking". Like opening a webpage, or getting a text.

It's almost definitely not your headphones.
