LISTEN TO MUSIC
With an Apple Watch running watchOS 4.1 or higher, you can listen to albums
and playlists created on your iPhone, stations on Apple Radio, and any music
from Apple Music (if you’re a subscriber). You can also listen to music and
podcasts from apps including Spotify, Pandora, and iHeartRadio.
First, set up your earbuds, headphones, or speaker via Bluetooth. Open Apple’s
Music app to swipe through your library of albums and playlists. From the
player, you can pause, resume, skip ahead, go back, and control the volume.
Apple Radio comes as its own separate app, where you can tune up Apple Music
1 (formerly Beats 1) and certain news and music stations.
To listen to music-streaming services such as Spotify, Pandora, and
iHeartRadio, you’ll have to download their apps through the App Store on your

LISTEN TO PODCASTS
Apple has its own Podcasts app that lets you download podcasts on your iPhone

nearby Wi-Fi network.
Open the Podcasts app on your watch to swipe through the latest available
podcasts. You can also access your library of subscribed podcasts or individual
episodes. From the Podcast player, you can pause, resume, jump ahead 30
seconds, go back 15 seconds, alter the speed, and change the volume.
