YouTube Music Bug Halts Wear OS Offline Playlists After 1 Song on Pixel and Galaxy Watches
3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · May 13
Multiple Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch users say YouTube Music offline playlists on Wear OS stop after the first downloaded track, leaving Next and More controls grayed out.
Reddit reports and one direct complaint to Android Authority indicate cache clears, app-data resets and watch reboots can restore playback only temporarily before the bug returns after a few sessions.
More than 1 month of user posts suggest the issue is not isolated, though Android Authority said it could not reproduce the problem on a 2025 Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Google had not publicly addressed the bug as of publication, and no related Google Issue Tracker thread was found, leaving the cause and any fix timeline unclear.

With core features broken, is Google abandoning its smartwatch ecosystem promises?
