Controlling music playback on your HUAWEI watch

You can use your watch to control the music playback on your phone or use your watch for independent music playback.

Controlling phone music playback

  1. On your phone, open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, tap Music, and toggle on Control phone music.
     
    • This setting is not required if you're using an iPhone.
    • To use this feature, make sure that your watch is properly linked with Huawei Health.
  2. Open a phone music app and start the playback.
  3. On your watch, swipe right on the home screen to enter the Assistant·TODAY screen, and tap the Music card. From there you can pause playback, switch between tracks, and adjust the volume.

Syncing music to your watch

 
  • Before syncing music to your watch, make sure that the tracks have already been downloaded to your phone from a music app and are in a format supported by your watch.
  • This feature is not available for certain watches when they are paired with an iPhone. The Music card will not be displayed on the device details screen in the HUAWEI Health app. If your watch has not been restored to its factory settings, it is recommended that you connect your watch to an Android phone first for music transfer, and then link your watch with an iPhone for music playback controls (provided that the same HUAWEI ID is used to log in to the Huawei Health app on all of the used phones).
  1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and go to Music > Manage music > Add songs.
    iPhones: Open HUAWEI Health, navigate to the device details screen, and go to Music > Import from phone.
     
    • This feature is only compatible with certain watch models when paired with an iPhone, such as the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series.
  2. Select the tracks to be added and tap in the upper right corner of the screen.
  3. Access the music management screen, tap New playlist, create a name for the playlist, and add tracks to suit your desires. You can also categorize tracks that have been uploaded to your watch for easier management. You can update an existing playlist at any time by tapping in the upper right corner of the playlist screen and then Add songs.
  4. Music files synced to your watch can be played even without an internet connection.
  5. To delete an added track, open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and go to Music > Manage music. In the music list, tap the icon next to the track, and select Delete.

Controlling watch music playback

  1. Press the Up button on your watch to enter the app list, select Music () or open another music app, and tap Playing.
  2. Tap the Play button to start playing.
  3. On the music playback screen, you can adjust the volume and set the playback sequence (such as Play in order and Shuffle).

    Some watches let you control the volume by simply rotating the crown.

  4. On the music playback screen, swipe up to see your playlists or swipe right to go to the local music screen. Once there, tap Songs to view all the songs on your watch.
