Device iPhone, Apple Watch Operating System iOS 13 and watchOS 6.0.1 My Question or Issue With the latest update, it seems that the elapsed time (track time) of a song displayed on the top left corner of the Spotify app on Apple Watch dissapers. Now, it just displays 'Spotify'. Does this have to d.
watchOS 7 brings several improvements and new features like Handwashing, Family Setup, Sleep Tracking, and more. Sadly, some users are unable to install this update and therefore missing these fantastic highlights. But worry not as the effective solutions listed below will help you fix the failing watchOS 7 download and installation problems. Take a look.
1. Check Compatibility before Updating
The primary step before proceeding is to ensure that whether your Apple Watch officially supports watchOS 7 or not.
If you rock an Apple Watch Series 3, Series 4, and Series 5, you can update to the latest OS.
- My Apple Watch Spotify app will not connect to my phone. It just has my watch’s name listed but no controls with Spotify. I’ve reinstalled and uninstalled the app on my phone and the watch multiple times with no change. I’ve ran all updates on the watch, phone and the app and still nothing.
- Every year after the latest version of watchOS launches, I spend about a week digging through the Apple Watch's App Store to see if I can find great apps for my smartwatch. This inevitably leads to me trying to install 30 apps at a time, which can cause minor issues with app installation.
- Open the Music app on your Apple Watch. Scroll to the top of the screen, then tap Listen Now to view a curated feed of playlists and albums based on your likes and dislikes. Tap a category, tap an album or playlist, then tap. If you tap a station, it plays in the Radio app on Apple Watch.
- 23 votes, 16 comments. This has been a topic for years now. The watch app from Spotify should be more than a remote. It should be able to play music.
The latest Apple Watch Series 6 and SE already come preinstalled with watchOS 7. But if you have trouble installing the next version of watchOS 7 like 7.1, this guide will be helpful for that as well.
2. Perform the Basic Checks
Now, before we advance further, it is essential to satisfy some conditions.
- Your Apple Watch battery must be at least 50%.
- Connect your iPhone and watch to a stable Wi-Fi. If your net is too slow, consider restarting the router. Also, do not forget to disable the VPN.
- Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
- Update your iPhone to ensure perfect harmony.
3. Retry Updating After Restarting the Apple Watch and iPhone
In multiple posts, we often mention that restarting is one of the easiest and (an almost) sure shot way to fix several software issues.

To restart your Apple Watch, press the Side button and drag the POWER OFF slider to the right. After a minute, press the same button to turn it on.
To restart the paired iPhone, use the power button(s) as you usually do.
After this, try to update the wearable. You can do so straight from the Settings app on the Apple Watch or use the Watch app on the companion iPhone.
4. Free Up Space on your Apple Watch
Just like you must have a certain amount of free space for updating the iPhone, you Watch too follows the same rule.
If you cannot install watchOS 7, which is a major generational update, consider freeing up some space. Once you do that, restart the devices and try updating again.
5. Delete the Update File and Retry
- Open the Watchapp on the paired iPhone and make sure you are in the My Watch tab.
- Tap on General → Usage → Software Update and delete the downloaded update file.
- Restart the devices.
- Open the Watch app → General → Software Update to download and install watchOS 7.
6. Unpair the Apple Watch
Finally, if nothing works for you, the ultimate fix is unpairing the watch from the iPhone. After that, complete the setup process. You may choose to restore from the watch backup.
Once everything is set, follow the update process once again, and you should be able to get watchOS 7 successfully.
