How to use Deezer on Apple Watch

Deezer on Apple Watch allows you to control the music on your iPhone with your watch, including your recently played tracks, Favorites, albums, and podcasts.

You cannot download music onto your Apple Watch with Deezer. Downloaded music will remain in your Deezer mobile app.

To navigate and select options, you can use the Apple Watch’s touchscreen or its Digital Crown.

Browsing music

Open the Deezer app on your Apple Watch.

From the app homepage, you can access the following:

• Flow
• My Music
• Favorite tracks
• Now playing (new feature)

From the My Music menu, you can access your Recently played, Favorite tracks, Playlists, Albums, and Podcasts.

When browsing playlists, they are ordered with the most recently updated playlists at the top. Songs in your playlists are sorted according to how you have sorted them on Deezer.com – for instance, in manual order, A-Z, or by recently added songs.

Playback

To begin music playback, choose a playlist or album and tap on a song to begin.

From the Now playing screen, you can Pause/Play the track, and select the arrow icons to skip to the next track or previous track.

You can add tracks to your library with the Add/Add to favorites  button. You can also press the Dislike  button to skip tracks and help Flow understand your music taste better.

You can adjust the volume level using the Apple Watch’s Digital Crown.

Shuffle songs

To shuffle all the songs in your music library, go to My Music and tap the Shuffle button at the very top of the page.

You can shuffle just the songs in a playlist, too. First select the playlist you desire, swipe down and select the Shuffle icon to begin playing the playlist in shuffle mode.
