WatchOS: Haptic Feedback When Music Is Playing Over Bluetooth Headphones

Some users are reporting that they are not receiving any haptic feedback sound when playing music over their bluetooth headphones. When the headphones are unpaired, the sound play normally through the Watch itself.


Is there anything I need to be doing? on iOS I etup my my AVPlayer to mix but on WatchOS I'm not dealing with AVPlayers but accessing the haptic feedback sound.

Anyone there?? Apple Staff still on holiday or what 😝

Like yours, my app suddenly was no longer able to play haptics. I had recently introduced music so I thought that was it.


However, I then realized that I wasn't getting haptic feedback when receiving texts or halfway through a workout etc. I shut my watch completely off and powered it back on and the haptics are playing again. Do your affected users get haptics from other apps like Messages? If not, maybe powering off their watches will fix it.
