Step 2: Once open, close out of the app by pressing the Home button twice and swiping up on the app preview until it disappears.

Step 3: Restart your watch by pressing and holding down both buttons until an Apple logo appears on the screen.

After completing these steps, you should be able to successfully remove the Now Playing icon from your Apple Watch screen. However, if it’s still there after attempting all these steps, contact Apple Support for further assistance.
