Re-enable the automatic launch of the Now Playing screen on my Apple Watch

My Apple Watch 8 is upgraded to the latest iOS and I liked when now playing would automatically launch to whatever I was listening to on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. It doesn’t do that anymore since the latest iOS upgrade. How can I get now playing to auto launch When I’m listening to something on my iPhone?
