Best 2 Ways to Play Apple Music on Huawei Watch

Part 1. Compatibility Between Apple Music and Huawei Watch

The key to playing Apple Music on your Huawei Watch depends heavily on your primary phone's operating system (iOS or Android) and your desired use case. Here is the compatibility depending on whether you want to carry your phone with you or go completely phone-free.

Part 2. How to Control Apple Music Playback on Huawei Watch

If you don't mind carrying your iPhone, you don't need to transfer any files. All Huawei watches listed (GT series and Fit 3) can act as a Bluetooth remote for the Apple Music app running on your iPhone and Android phone. This allows you to play, pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume from your wrist.

Step 1. Ensure your Huawei Watch is actively connected to your iPhone or Android phone via Bluetooth and the Huawei Health app.

Step 2. Open the Apple Music app on your phone and start playing your desired playlist or album.

Step 3. On your Huawei Watch, swipe right from the home screen until you find the Music Control widget. Alternatively, press the side button (Crown) to enter the app list and tap 'Music'.

Step 4. Look for the 'three-dots' icon, tap it, and ensure the source is set to 'Phone' rather than 'Watch'.

Step 5. You should now see the song title currently playing on your iPhone displayed on your watch. Use the on-screen controls to manage playback. You can now pause, play, skip tracks, and adjust the volume directly from your watch.

Part 3. How to Play Apple Music on Huawei Watch without Phone

If you want to listen to Apple Music directly on your Huawei watch, please refer to this section. This process is slightly more complex, but it's essential for fitness, running, or any activity where you don't want to carry your phone.

Apple Music tracks are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). This means you cannot simply download them and transfer them as MP3 or FLAC files to your Huawei Watch. Fortunately, DRmare Apple Music Converter is designed for this purpose. It allows you to convert Apple Music to unprotected audio formats like MP3, FLAC, M4A, WAV, M4B, and AIFF at 30X faster speed. Taking advantage of the latest converting technology, this smart converter saves 100% original quality and raw metadata in the converted files. With it, you can easily transfer Apple Music to the Huawei Health app's Music and then play them offline without a phone nearby.

Step 1Load Apple Music playlists to DRmare

Open DRmare Apple Music Converter, and you will see the integrated Apple Music Web Player. Tap the "Sign In" button to log in to your Apple Music user name and password. After that, you can browse your library and tap the "Add" > "Add to List" button to add them to the conversion queue.

Step 2Reset Apple Music output formats for Huawei Watch 2

For Mac computer, please find the "DRmare Apple Music Converter" from the system menu bar. For the Windows computer, hit the "Menu" icon from DRmare's main page. And then, you can click the "Preferences" > "Conversion" option to customize the output formats and other related parameters as you need.

Step 3Covert Apple Music tracks for Huawei Watch

Now simply hit on the "Convert" button to start the conversion process. When all tracks are converted, just click the "Converted" > "Folder" icon. You will be directed to the local folder and check the converted Apple tracks. Now, you can connect your Android phone to your computer and transfer Apple Music downloads to it.

Step 4Upload Music from Android Phone to Huawei Watch.

On the Android phone, open the Huawei Health app. Navigate to your connected Huawei Watch settings and look for the "Music" option. From here, you should be able to select and upload the Apple Music files from your Android phone's storage directly to your Huawei Watch.

Step 5Play Apple Music on Huawei Watch Offline

Once the Apple Music files are uploaded to the watch, they remain on the watch's internal storage. You can then disconnect the watch from the Android phone, connect your Bluetooth headphones to your Huawei Watch, open the watch's music player, and enjoy your Apple Music tracks on Huawei Watch without your phone!

Part 4. In Conclusion

While playing Apple Music on a Huawei Watch isn't as plug-and-play as using an Apple Watch, it's certainly possible, especially for offline listening. The remote control function is seamless for all users, but achieving true independence requires the extra step of converting your tracks and using an Android device for the initial transfer. With these workarounds, you can enjoy your favorite Apple Music tunes directly from your wrist, leaving your phone behind when you need to.
