Apple Watch: tapping on the now playing indicator on watchOS, when playing audio from the phone, doesn't take you to Now Playing

[pocketcasts]

The app is meant to go through the [source chooser] -> [Phone control] -> [Now Playing] but now stops in that middle screen without getting to Now Playing. For me this is 100% reproducible and was reported by a user as well.

My setup is watchOS 8.1, iOS 15.1.1, Pocket Casts 7.19 Build 850.

Additional information

• Have this setting turned off on your watch: Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Auto Launch Audio Apps
• Play a podcast in Pocket Casts on your phone
• On your watch home screen there should now be a small now playing triangle in the top middle of your watch face, tapping that is meant to take you to the Now Playing page of the app that's playing, eg: Pocket Casts
