Disable Automatic “Now Playing” Screen on Apple Watch

Hello,


I have reset my Apple Watch series 5 an updated to watchOS 8.3, now every time I play Spotify on my iPhone, the 'now playing' screen comes up on my Apple Watch. In the past it was possible to disable it via the toggle 'Auto-launch audio apps', but this option seems to have disappeared. How do I turn it off with this new software?


Thank you!

For future reference, the option has now been moved on the Watch app to settings > display & brightness.
