You can play Spotify on your Apple Watch without needing your phone. Spotify has recently introduced several features for the Apple Watch, allowing users to listen to their favorite music and podcasts directly from their wrist.
One of the key features that Spotify has introduced is the ability to download music and podcasts to your Apple Watch. This means that you can sync your favorite playlists, albums, and podcasts to your watch, allowing you to listen to them even when you don’t have a network connection or your phone nearby. This is particularly useful for workouts or activities where you don’t want to carry your phone with you.
To download music and podcasts to your Apple Watch, you need to have a Spotify Premium subscription and the latest version of the Spotify app installed on your iPhone. Once you have these, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Spotify app on your iPhone and go to the playlist, album, or podcast you want to download.
2. Tap the three dots (…) next to the playlist, album, or podcast title.
3. From the menu that appears, select “Download to Apple Watch.”
4. Wait for the download to complete. You’ll see a progress indicator on the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
Once the music or podcast is downloaded to your Apple Watch, you can listen to it directly from your wrist. Simply open the Spotify app on your Apple Watch, go to the “Your Library” tab, and select the playlist, album, or podcast you want to listen to. You can use the controls on your watch to play, pause, skip, and adjust the volume.
It’s worth noting that while you can play Spotify music and podcasts on your Apple Watch without your phone, you’ll still need your iPhone to download and sync the content to your watch. Additionally, not all Spotify features are available on the Apple Watch, such as searching for new music or podcasts. These features still require your phone.
The ability to play Spotify on your Apple Watch without your phone is a great addition for Spotify users who want to enjoy their music and podcasts on the go, without needing to carry their phone with them. It provides a convenient and seamless experience for those who prefer to leave their phone behind during workouts or other activities.
