Apple Watch battery drain. I’ve noticed whenever I listen to any audio on my iPhone the Apple Watch series 5 links to the audio and drains rapidly. I try to turn this function off in settings and it makes no difference it’s still links and shows the audio icon on the top of the watch screen. I tried to pair and unpair with no change. Any suggestions?
