What's New in WatchAmp for Plex & Jellyfin

4.1.0

September 26, 2026

New in this Update: - When Artwork Display setting is set to "Full Screen", higher resolution streaming artwork is cached for better quality full screen appearance. - Artwork Reuse Model: Single Artwork file is now shared amongst tracks within the same album, so long as the media server reports they have the same artwork. This helps conserve bandwidth when streaming multiple tracks from the same album, and WatchAmp will now also reuse local artwork from cached or downloaded tracks for streaming tracks of the same album when available. - Siri Announce Notifications now pause and resume audio rather than just lowering the volume. - When viewing chapter list for an M4B audiobook, list now scrolls immediately to active chapter. - Added additional hardening for successful track download verification. Fixes in this Update: - When using an Apple Watch that does not support Always On display, or when Always On Display was turned off and the screen went dark, watchOS could suspend playback between tracks. Audio would resume only when the watch was raised/activated. Updated enqueue method should allow watchOS to continue playback while screen is off. - Fixed seeking unavailable on first start streaming tracks - Fixed seeking bug that could cause audio to seeking when the display is covered. - Tweaked Play Next/Later queue handling, cache prioritization, and Headphone Disconnect/Reconnect recovery

User reviews

Perfect for PlexAmp users

This developer nailed it. Thank you so much. This is what I needed. Now I can listen to my Plex music anywhere without my phone.

Works Great

May have finally found an app that works for what I need. Cover artwork presentation needs some improvement but works well. (fixed, thank you!)

Response from developer

There is a new Artwork Display setting that is customizable in the WatchAmp v4.0.0 Settings Page: - Off - Retains the same behavior as WatchAmp 3.2.1 and earlier - Expanded Artwork - Hides the playback controls and progress bar, expanding the artwork and track title/artist to fill more of the screen. Similar to Apple Music app behavior. - Full Screen Artwork - Album artwork expands to completely fill the watch face.

Exactly what I was looking for

I wanted to be able to stream my local music library from my Apple Watch Ultra 3 without having to navigate through Apple‘s ridged ecosystem. I already use plexamp for my iPhone and this complements it perfectly, we need more developers like this!
