Take your tunes anywhere! Add music to your Galaxy Watch for offline listening

[Jenith]

One of the best things about Galaxy Watches is that they let you leave your phone at home and go out for a jog or a walk unhindered. Even without a phone or LTE on your smartwatch, you can pair your wireless headphones to your Galaxy Watch and listen to your favorite music or podcasts on the go.

One way to do this is to download content from your favorite streaming app to your Galaxy Watch for offline use. You may need a subscription for this. But you can also transfer your own audio files from the phone to your Galaxy Watch's on-board storage. Here's how.

Transfer music to your Galaxy Watch​

To transfer audio files that are stored locally on your phone to your Galaxy Watch, all you need to do is follow these steps:

• • Open the Galaxy Wear app on your connected phone.
  • Go to Watch settings.
  • Select Manage content.
  • Tap Tracks on watch.
  • Tap the + button in the upper-right corner.
  • Select the audio tracks you want to add and tap Add to watch.

If your phone and Galaxy Watch are connected, you'll see a progress bar and the message “Adding tracks to watch…”

However, since this might be the first time you're transferring audio files from your phone to the Galaxy Watch, you may need to enable some permissions.

Switch to your watch, go to notifications, and make sure you allow Galaxy Watch Music to add tracks and access music files on your storage.
