watchOS 26: Audio Playback Interrupted by Fitness Notifications Across Multiple Apps

After upgrading to watchOS 26, users report that when playing music on Apple Watch, if a fitness reminder is received, the music automatically pauses and users need to manually tap the play button to resume music playback. This phenomenon occurs with multiple music and podcast apps.

This issue did not exist before the upgrade. We would like to know if this is an Apple bug or if there are any special development configurations needed?"

Thanks for reporting this issue. Do you have a feedback report yet? If not, I’d suggest that you file one and share your report ID here.

Best,
