Apple Watch can do quite a few things without iPhone. Apart from letting you download Watch apps, update software, it also lets you sync music so that you can tune into your top picks at your own pace. Times when you are sweating out at the treadmill or having a long walk in a park, you can catch up with music without having to rely on the paired iPhone. Follow along to learn how you can add your favorite playlists and albums to Apple Watch.
Add Your Favorite Playlists and Albums to Apple Watch
Interestingly, watchOS also lets you sync workout playlists. Just in case you like to listen to some specific songs while you are working out, you would really appreciate this nifty feature. Once you have created a workout playlist on your Apple Watch, watchOS will automatically start playing music whenever you begin exercise. Pretty neat, isn’t it?
Depending on your needs, you can turn on/off automatic syncing of music with Apple Watch and even remove the music that you no longer need on your watch. So, you have the desired control over music storage, which is a big plus considering that the smartwatch doesn’t have a lot of extra space.
How to Sync Specific Playlists/Albums with Apple Watch
1. To get started, launch Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Now make sure the My Watch tab at the bottom left corner of the screen is selected.
3. Next, scroll down and select Music.
4. Under Playlists & Albums section, tap on Add Music.
5. Finally, choose the albums and playlists which you want to add to your Apple Watch.
Note:
- For a seamless music listening experience, Apple automatically adds the music you have recently listened to.
- Just in case you haven’t listened to anything, recommendations from Apple Music are added.
- If you would like to have control over which playlists are automatically added, turn on or off individual playlists located under Automatically Add section.
