Removing music from your watch
Deleting tracks is straightforward and does not affect the music on your phone. Navigate to the Music app on your watch, select the tracks you wish to delete, and confirm the removal.

Your Galaxy smartwatch lets you control music playback, including volume adjustments, switching between device playlists, and navigating tracks. Access your music library and additional controls like Shuffle and Repeat directly from your watch.

For select watch models, you can switch the control between different music apps on your connected phone directly from your watch. Simply open the Music app on your watch, tap to switch to the phone control mode, then select the desired Music player from the list.
