The Apple Watch is a fantastic wristwatch for a lot of reasons, and one of them is the fact that it does a decent job of allowing you carry about music. The Apple Watch Series 8, SE, and the newest Apple Watch Ultra can all be used to manage the music being played on your iPhone and to store additional songs. You can also use your playlists to play music from popular apps including Apple Music, Spotify, or Deezer while leaving your iPhone at home.
If you’re ready to listen to your personal music or carefully curated Spotify playlists while on the go but are unsure of how to proceed or what you’ll need, read on.
What to Know Before You Begin
Before you decide to put songs on your Apple Watch, there are a few things you should know, Zrst. The first issue is that not every one Apple Watches have the identical amount of storage to capture such noises. The most recent Series 8, SE (second generation), and Ultra feature 32GB of internal storage, but a previous Apple Watch Series 4 has 16GB. Another thing to check is that your iPhone and Apple Watch are both up to date, ideally to iOS 16 and watchOS 9, respectively.
Ways to Add Songs From iTunes to The Apple Watch
Launch the Watch app from your iPhone’s homescreen
If you wish to add songs and audio that you own or have purchased from Apple’s iTunes Store throughout the years, you can do so here. The first step is to go to your iPhone’s home screen and press to activate the Watch app. Next, make sure you’re in the Watch app’s My Watch area, then scroll toward Music and press.
Include music
On the following screen, you should notice two options: you may add purchased media to your Apple Watch and you can choose Add Music. Tap the Add Music button to open your music library and browse by artist, album, genre, compilation, or composer. Below that is a list of recently added music. When you find a song or album you would like to add, click the plus icon to sync it over.
How to Pay Attention
While your Apple Watch is fully charged and your iPhone is close, music will have been downloaded and synced. It’s synchronizing across from the Music area of the Watch iPhone app, as you can see. Once synced, open the Music application on your Apple Watch, scroll through Library, then Downloaded, and look for the freshly downloaded music underneath Playlists, Artists, Albums, or Songs.
How to Add Apple Music Songs to iPhone
If you don’t buy a lot of musical these days but are a subscriber to a service that streams music, the good thing is that you can save audio via streaming services and listen to it on the go. Apple Music, unsurprisingly, is one of the services that supports this, and here’s how to access Apple Music on your Apple Watch.
Start Apple Music
Before you can move to the next stage, you clearly need an annual subscription to Apple Music. The good thing is that you can get the soundtrack on your Apple Watch in two ways. To do so from your iPhone, launch the Apple Music app.
Get the playlist here
Then, look for and hit the plus sign. You may be required to ensure that the Sync Library option is activated, which you may do via this screen. When you enable Sync Library mode, the plus sign will be replaced by a downward down indicator. To begin downloading the playlist, tap.
Save these tunes to your Watchlist
Return to the Music app of your iPhone and adhere to the provided instructions for transferring purchased iTunes music to your Watch. The same procedures apply to downloaded playlists.
