Hi there, @The_orange_Dog9. 👋

Thanks for letting us know about your experience. Based on your message, it sounds like you're using Siri to search but it doesn't allow you to tap after dictating to your Apple Watch.

I’ve enabled a trace on your Pandora account to help us better understand what’s happening. For this trace to be useful, we’ll need you to run through our troubleshooting steps below.

First, try restarting your iPhone and Apple Watch. Press and hold the side button to power it off, and then do the same to power it on again.

If you're still having trouble, try the following steps to uninstall and reinstall the Pandora app on your watch:

Go to the Watch app on iPhone.
Scroll down and find Pandora.
Tap Pandora then disable the Show App on Apple Watch toggle.
Finally, switch the toggle back on to begin reinstalling the app.

Let me know how it goes. 🎧

@The_orange_Dog9 Thanks for the follow up.

I can pass this along to our engineers on your behalf. Could you provide me with a bit more information about your devices?

What iPhone model do you have?
What version is your Apple Watch on? (Open the Watch app on your phone and go to General > About> Version)

Let me know. 🎧
