The devices Apple are recognized for their synchronization in the ecosystem and the multiple possibilities of interaction. This is a very good thing, which helps a lot of device owners Apple carand I use several devices. It happens, however, that sometimes this synchronization disturbs, and one of the interactions that I don't really want is the display of the player Apple Music on Apple Watch when listening to music on iPhone, iPad or Homepod. How do we disable Now Playing on Apple Watch?

It happens that when we listen to music on HomePod, instead of time and other information set on the screen Apple Watch, let the player appear Apple Music "Now Playing". Quite annoying, because every time we close it, it automatically restarts with the start of another song on HomePod.

After deactivating the option "Auto-Launch Audio Apps", the player will no longer automatically start on Apple Watch when listening to music on HomePod or on iPhone.

If we still want to control the music on Apple Watch, at the top of the screen will continue to appear the sign "Now Playing” notification to the player. Sign that the music is still synchronized with the device.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
