Stream and download Audible books to your Apple Watch without having to sync with an iPhone has just been made easier. Now with just one tap listeners can access their library and either stream or download titles. Seamless synching across devices means you can switch to listening on an Alexa device or phone once home without losing your place. It’s also possible to adjust to a preferred narration speed while on the move.
