Apple just gave their watches this ability and you take it away... Give us back the option to use the speaker with all of our music related apps please. Batteries and storage are getting larger, don't care about eating up power and having to charge more often. Just remove the restriction please. Doing so would really convince me to start using YouTube music more often instead of Spotify...

Same problem as P. C. where i install the app and go through the same process of finding the watch but ends up not scanning. I'll then deny the process and ends up going in to scan everything else around me except the only thing i want it to scan. I even tried it on Emulator on the corner and still the same. Tried with my last phone and my new one so i figured it's the app. I have a ticwatch pro 3 ultra which has wear os just to throw that out there.

I am no longer happy with Wear OS. I use it to connect my Android phone and my Fossil smartwatch (which is great), but Wear OS no longer supports several of the top fitness tracking apps including MapMyRun and Strava which is devastating as a runner. GoogleFit is useless for run data, and I only have a couple more options to test. I WANT THIS FIXED!!!!
