Dear Deezer team! 

I would love to request a new feature. As you likely already know, WearOS has a built-in music player called Media Controls (WearOS). Package: com.google.android.wearable.media.sessions.

With the new update to WearOS 5.0, this Player got an update. It now shows your Queue, next Song and even allows to shuffle the playlist and replay a song.

This is only working with some music streaming services tho because full WearOS MediaSession API support is required. When I tested it with YouTube Music, it worked, but it did not work with Deezer. Its just that Deezer doesnt fully implement this API. While using Deezer, you can only see the song title, the artist name, the album art and basic music controls like play, pause and go forwards/backwards. 

 

I'm sure that I'm not the only one that would love it if this feature appeared in Deezer.

 

I will attach screenshots from the watch while playing music from YouTube Music and Deezer

The first screenshots with grayed out options on the bottom is Deezer. The other three are YouTube Music.

I hope you will implement this feature! 

Wishing you the best!
