If you wear an Apple Watch and you're a Spotify Premium subscriber, the feature that you've long been waiting for is finally here. That's right, you can finally download playlists, albums and podcasts from
Spotify onto your Apple Watch for offline listening. Spotify announced the feature in late May, and it's slowly been tricking it out to Apple Watch running the latest watchOS. Show
Hallelujah. This is a huge deal because for years, you were only able to download music onto your Apple Watch for offline listening if you were an Apple Music subscriber. It was a great selling point for runners, for example, because it allowed them to leave their iPhone at home and still listen to music via their Apple Watch and wireless earbuds. (If you subscribe to Deezer, you also recently gained the ability to download music to your Apple Watch.) Previously, the Spotify app on your Apple Watch had been incredibly limited, allowing you to play/pause, switch songs and adjust the volume of tracks playing on your iPhone. But without your iPhone nearby and tethered to your Apple Watch, it was basically useless. Thankfully that's changing. Spotify did make a small improvement for Apple Watch wearers last November. It rolled out an update that let them stream music from the Apple Watch without having their iPhone nearby so long as their Apple Watch was connected to Wi-Fi or LTE (the latter meaning they needed a cellular model). Unfortunately, since most people own the more affordable Wi-Fi-only Apple Watch, this didn't drastically change their experience. Courtesy Can I download Spotify Music to my Apple Watch?The answer is yes, but there are two caveats. First, you need to be a Spotify Premium subscriber (meaning you have to be a paying subscriber). And secondly, you will needto have an Apple Watch that's running watchOS 6.0 or later, meaning older Apple Watch models like the Series 2 and Series 1 won't get this ability. Finally, you need to have the latest updated Spotify app on your Apple Watch. How to download Spotify songs, albums and playlists to your Apple WatchDownloading Spotify music onto your Apple for offline listening is very simple — and it can be done either on your iPhone or your Apple Watch. Before starting, make sure that your Apple Watch or iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi or LTE. We recommend downloading when your Apple Watch is connected to Wi-Fi, otherwise it's going to rely on your iPhone's LTE connection, which is obviously going to drain data.
Please note that Spotify is updating its app and rolling out this feature as we speak. So if you go to your music and don't see the "Download to Apple Watch" option just yet — don't worry. Give it a day or two and make sure your Apple Watch and iPhone are running the latest operating systems. LEARN MORE Apple Music is designed to work seamlessly with other Apple products — including the Apple Watch. It has an easy-to-use app, users can stream radio stations, and even download songs for offline listening. For people interested in that last point, setting up offline downloads takes just a couple of minutes. It’s fairly common knowledge that Apple Watch users can download Apple Music tracks onto the device. But here’s a question — why would anyone want to do that in the first place? Picture this. Someone is ready to go out on a run or walk, they want to listen to music while doing so, and they have wireless headphones connected to their Apple Watch. If that Apple Watch isn’t an LTE model, that person will need to bring their iPhone with them in order to actually listen to anything. Since Apple Music requires an internet connection and non-LTE Apple Watches need to be connected to an iPhone for internet access, that can result in a pretty cumbersome setup. By downloading songs to the Apple Watch, it’s possible to listen to those downloaded songs directly on the wearable — no iPhone required. To get started with downloading Apple Music songs to the Apple Watch, Apple’s instructions are quite clear. Open the Apple Watch app on the paired iPhone, scroll down the page, and tap ‘Music.’ At the top of this page is an option called ‘Recent’ Music.’ If this is enabled, Apple notes that it will “Automatically add music you’ve listened to recently.” It’s a great way to seamlessly add music to the Apple Watch without manually choosing songs/albums, and it can be turned on just by tapping the toggle next to it. How To Add Specific Songs & Albums To Apple Watch In addition to automatically adding recently played music, there’s also the option to choose specific songs to add to the Apple Watch for offline listening. Below the Recent Music option, tap ‘Add Music.’ This brings up another page showing someone’s Apple Music library, offering quick access to playlists, artists, albums, etc. Users can tap on these filters to quickly view music that way, or use the search bar at the top of the page to search for a title. After selecting an album or playlist to download, tap the ‘+’ icon at the top-right of the screen. This will add it to the download queue, with the download only beginning once the Apple Watch is charging and near the paired iPhone. Last but certainly not least, it’s important to know how to delete Apple Music tracks from the Apple Watch. Thankfully, it’s just as easy as downloading them. On the same Music page in the Apple Watch app, swipe left on a downloaded album/playlist and tap the ‘Delete’ button. To delete multiple albums/playlists at once, tap ‘Edit’ at the top-right of the screen and tap the ‘-‘ icon next to all of the ones that should be deleted.
