There could be several reasons why Spotify is not downloading on your Apple Watch. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
1. Check Wi-Fi Network: Make sure both your Apple Watch and iPhone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is necessary for the initial setup and syncing of apps.
2. Turn on Bluetooth: Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on both your Apple Watch and iPhone. Bluetooth is used for the continuous connection between the devices.
3. Restart Spotify App: Sometimes, simply restarting the Spotify app on your iPhone can help resolve any temporary glitches. Close the app completely and then reopen it.
4. Restart Apple Watch: If restarting the app doesn’t work, try restarting your Apple Watch. To do this, press and hold the side button until the Power Off slider appears. Slide it to turn off the Watch, and then press and hold the side button again until the Apple logo appears to turn it back on.
5. Delete and Reinstall Spotify App: If the issue persists, try deleting the Spotify app from both your iPhone and Apple Watch, and then reinstall it. To delete the app on your Apple Watch, press and hold the app icon until it starts jiggling, and then tap the “x” icon. On your iPhone, press and hold the app icon until it starts shaking, and then tap the “x” icon. After deleting, reinstall the app from the App Store.
6. Reset Network Settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the network settings on both your iPhone and Apple Watch. This will remove saved Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections, so you will need to set them up again. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. On your Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you have tried all of these steps and Spotify still won’t download on your Apple Watch, it may be helpful to set up an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar or contact Spotify support for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps or determine if there is a compatibility issue with your devices.
Remember, technology can be finicky at times, and it’s not uncommon to encounter these kinds of issues. By following these steps and seeking professional help if needed, you should be able to get Spotify up and running on your Apple Watch.
