Went through the forum, updated from watch firmware, restarted phone and watch. Still unable to control music from the watch. Am I missing any step?

As I mentioned in other discussion, my Watch Pro (2) didn’t connect via Bluetooth with my Z Fold (when I tried with Nothing Phone 1, it asked me if I want to pair also via BT after pairing over app). This enabled me with calls via Watch Pro (2). Maybe same apply for music playback? Check your Bluetooth settings on phone, if Watch Pro (2) is available for pairing.

dsvarun It works on mine. You need to go into the phone app - > Click on your account on the bottom - > Permissions Management - > Notifications - > then click and go to notifications settings and select all the apps you would like to allow to send notifications.

The watch mirrors notifications from your phone tray, so if it’s not allowed on your phone, it won’t be allowed on your watch.

I can control music on Spotify by doing this and get notification updates from text, WhatsApp, Microsoft teams, phone, etc.

Hope this helps!

      I have the same issue.

      I cannot control my music through my cmf watch pro 2.
      On the watch it says “Please play music on your phone” although I am already playing music via Spotify on my phone.

      I tried the following things:

      • Reinstalling the CMF Watch App
      • Resetting the CMF Watch Pro 2
      • Unbinding the CMF Watch Pro 2 from the App

      Nothing worked. Does anyone has any other suggestions I can try?

        I found solution on my Android Phone.

        1. Open your CMF Watch App on your phone.
        2. Open its “Device” tab.
        3. Tap “Notifications”
        4. Tap “Other Apps” on its bottom
        5. Check On to your music apps

        I got make it!

        dsvarun I fixed it. You need to go to the cmf watch app and then the notifications settings the go to the more apps section and turn on the notifications for your preferred music player
