Apple watch stopped streaming music

I purchased the Apple Watch Series 6 with cellular purposely to be able stream music without having my cell phone. Several months I’ve been unable to stream music. I’m only able to download and play. Looking for help to get streaming back.

Hi JFH5280,


Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. Is your Apple Watch running the latest watchOS? If not, let's start there as this may help to resolve your issue: Update your Apple Watch


Get ready to update
Next, check these things:
1. Make sure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
2. Make sure that your Apple Watch is at least 50 percent charged.
3. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.
Keep your iPhone near your Apple Watch throughout the update. It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete, so you might want to update overnight or wait until you have time.

Update your Apple Watch using your iPhone
You can wait until Apple Watch notifies you when a new update is available. Tap Update Tonight in the notification, then go to your iPhone to confirm that you want to update overnight. At the end of the day, leave your Apple Watch and iPhone charging overnight so the update can complete.

Or you can update your Apple Watch with your iPhone manually:
1. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then tap the My Watch tab. 
2. Tap General > Software Update.

3. Download the update. If asked for your iPhone passcode or Apple Watch passcode, enter it. 
4. Wait for the progress wheel to appear on your Apple Watch. It could take from several minutes to an hour for the update to complete. 


Do you get an error message when attempting to stream music?


Keep us posted.


Thanks.
