Spotify says that the first version of this feature will stream audio in 96Kbps (what the company calls "normal" audio quality). If you have an older Apple Watch and a massive playlist, you may want to create a more curated selection for your Watch. Whereas the Series 5, 6 and SE all offer 32GB of space, older models like the Series 3 (8GB) and Series 4 (16GB) have much less. It's worth noting that the Apple Watch has more limited storage compared to iPhones. The company says the new offline feature will also work with albums and podcasts and is available globally. From there, tap the three dots along the top of the playlist and select download to Apple Watch.
To transfer a playlist onto the Apple Watch, you'll need to open the updated Spotify app on your iPhone and head to the playlist you want to move onto the watch. Spotify also says your watch will need to be on at least WatchOS 6.0, with the company recommending you download WatchOS 7.1 or later. A student option is also available for $5 (£6, AU$6) a month. A Premium membership runs $10 (£10, AU$12) a month for one account, $13 (£14, AU$17) a month for two accounts or $16 (£17, AU$19) a month for six accounts on a Family plan.
You'll need an Apple Watch Series 3 (or later) to use the new feature, and you'll also need a subscription to Spotify Premium. It means runners, for example, will be able to listen to music without having to carry their iPhone - the Watch will stream the music to wireless headphones. On Friday the music streaming giant announced that it's begun rolling out the ability to download playlists for offline listening to Apple's wearable, bringing the Apple Watch on par with devices from Fitbit, Samsung and Garmin. If you're on Spotify and have an Apple Watch, you'll soon be able to listen on the go without an iPhone.
