Why does Pocket Casts auto launch on my watch?

If you tap play on an iPhone app that has an Apple Watch app installed, the Now Playing app will automatically launch on your watch by default. If you’d prefer for that not to happen, you can turn this setting off either on your Apple Watch or on your iPhone.

To turn this setting off via your Watch:

  • Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch to open the apps view
  • Tap Settings on the list of apps or in the gridview
  • Tap General
  • Tap Wake Screen
  • Toggle off the switch next to Auto Launch Audio Apps.

To turn this setting off via your iPhone:

  • Open the Watch app on your iPhone
  • Tap General
  • Tap Wake Screen
  • Toggle off the switch next to Auto Launch Audio Apps.
