Apple Watch app no longer works without Bluetooth

[Dnfa666]

Downloads never work over Bluetooth. They are so slow that the app inevitably ends up in a bad state where they will always be stuck in the downloading state UNLESS you follow other directions posted in this forum and disable Bluetooth to download over WiFi. However, recently the app has stopped working when disabling Bluetooth, making downloading music an impossible task. I have done a clean install of the app, restarted multiple times, etc, but when Bluetooth is not connected, the ‘downloads’ filter button is not even visible on the watch app.

Hey @Dnfa666,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

Since you can download your playlists on your watch from an iPhone or from the watch itself, would you mind confirming if you're following both processes mentioned in this article?

If so and the issue persists, we'd recommend reinstalling the app on your Watch to see if it makes any difference. We'd also recommend performing a clean reinstall of the app by following the steps in this article.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
