As much as media controls help you to leverage media being played on your connected device, it may get annoying if the controls pop up automatically, especially if you want to do something else on your smartwatch.
Here’s how to stop media controls from automatically popping up on your Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. Prevent controls showing up on your watch when you start playing audio or video on your phone.
Once you stop this auto launch of the media controls, you will now have to manually search for it among the widgets on your smartwatch, to control the media from the watch itself.
