Tidal Stops Playing on Second Song? Apple Watch Solutions

Part 1. Why Does Tidal Keep Stopping on Apple Watch?

The issue of Tidal stopping playback after the second song on Apple Watch has been reported by numerous users, making users wonder "Why does Tidal keep stopping on Apple Watch?" To figure out this Tidal playback issue on Apple Watch, you should make sure the watch is an Apple Watch 3 or later and has WatchOS 7.1 or later unless you won't get the Tidal app on your device. When you have the official Tidal app on your watch but still encounter the 'Tidal keeps stopping' issue, it may be due to the following:

1. Offline Mode Errors:
According to feedback from Apple Watch users, the Tidal app requires them to stream Tidal music only via cellular or Wi-Fi. The downloaded tracks cannot be played after two songs. It seems that Tidal offline mode on Apple Watch can trigger errors, resulting in tracks being partially downloaded or issues during the download process.

2. Outdated Tidal App:
Recent updates have introduced bugs that affect the Tidal app's performance on the Apple Watch. If the Tidal on Apple Watch crashes or stops playing music, it could be due to issues in an outdated version of the app itself. Tidal recommends that you keep the app updated, and some users report that it works after updating the most recent Tidal app version.

3. Background Activity Restrictions:
Apple's system settings may limit background activity for apps such as Tidal, particularly when the screen is turned off or locked. When the app is not actively being used, it may end up Tidal not working. You should check your settings to ensure that Tidal can run in the background.
