I have turned off Auto-Launch Audio Apps on both iPhone and watch. I have reset and rebooted both. I have unpaired and repaired watch. It still launches now playing on watch every time I play music on my iPhone.
Apple Watch Ultra 2, watchOS 10
Hi ralflord2112,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! While there is not a way to disable the 'Now Playing' feature, you can submit feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple. That would get your feedback to the right team at Apple.
You can also find more information about Now Playing in this article: Use Now Playing on Apple Watch.
Cheers!
