Thanks for sharing your tips with @Gabriel Alexandre, @gmcoates and @hpguru - this is the true spirit of our community :grin:

I'll also forward the feedback to our devs, as usual.

I have Deezer instead on my APPLE Watch Series 6 GPS+Cellular. It looks like the App is not using the cellular option. The only offline option is working. Basicaly it is not fully operational without phone.

The second issue is that I can't easily select my Bluetooth headphones connected directly to it. I can change destination devices.

We need to look into this a bit further @Maciej Nowak what's your Deezer app version?

Could you try switching your phone to airplane mode and try again?

If phone has airplane  mode or watch is not connected to phone only offline mode is working. It is not even able to use wi-fi. Need to have direct contact with the phone. 

 

I’m using the newest versions

That's my point @Maciej Nowak 

It's supposed to work without the phone, but correct me if I'm wrong. Could you try it out? And did you check the Deezer app version for me as well? It's supposed to use the cellular option if the watch isn't close to the phone.

Thank you for your support! :relaxed:

I have:

And when using cellular:

I’m also missing the destination audio device option in the watch app. Maybe this is the issue, watch do not know where to play. When I enable connection it is playing on phone I can't change it.

 

But offline works without any issues.

 

In the iPhone app, I have no option to play as a source watch - where Bluetooth headphones are connected

All you really have to do is pair your headphones with the watch and you can hear the music that is on your watch.

Nothing needs to be set on the iPhone for this. Especially not in the watch app on the iPhone.

Or do I not understand the question?

Tip: If you want to really speed up the downloads, you should switch the iPhone to airplane mode. The Apple Watch must still be in the wifi. :slight_smile:

@dee_dirk and @Rudi Yes but when music i playing how can I switch to other device. I have few devices at home and I would like to choose where music should be played. What I see I can’t find the this option now.

 

The other issue is that I can't find on watch collections. You have only offline and flow :/
