Please create an app for the Apple watch that allows users to change songs and playlists from their watch. Perfect for working out and the busy commute.

Updated on 2018-11-13

Hey everyone,

 

Thanks for coming to the Community, and adding your vote to this idea.

 

We're pleased to confirm that you can now DJ from your wrist with Spotify on Apple Watch.

> Play, pause, and skip, both music and podcasts.
> Control the volume.
> Get info about what’s playing.
> Play from Recently Played.
> Save your favorites.
> Use Spotify Connect to play to another device.

 

To get Spotify on Apple Watch you’ll need an iPhone 5 or above, running iOS 10.0 and above, and an Apple Watch on watchOS 4.0 and above.

 

We have some more info on the Support site: https://support.spotify.com/listen_everywhere/smart_watches/apple-watch/

This silent from spotify is a shame ..

I agree with the comment about Pandora. I've had my watch since Day One, and I've been switching to Pandora due to its Watch app. Spotify, I prefer you because I can choose exactly what I want to hear, but c'mon, don't let us drift to Pandora. And if you let the upcoming Apple (Beats?) app beat you to the punch, oh my god, are you going to lose market share!

Definitely something that would benefit spotify users and enhance their use of spotify

+1, a Spotify Apple Watch app (+ more importantly a glance) is my most-wanted app. Currently all you can do on the Apple Watch is use the Now Playing Glance to control currently-playing music that has already been started on Spotify (and even that sometimes just starts music playing from the Music app rather than Spotify). An app would allow me to browse playlists and change what I'm listening to, as well as get access to AirPlay controls to send music to speakers, headphones etc.

 

Very much an essential extension for Apple Watch owners!

Just oredred my Apple Watch, and Spotify is my buddy on my iPhone....an Apple Watch app/glance is a must indeed :)))))...Hope to see the update soon.

The ability to have Spotify playlists offline, and on my Apple Watch, would be a massive win for Spotify and the Apple Watch. Being able to go on a run, with a paired bluetooth headset, and a playlist, would keep me as a Spotify user.

Please, please do this Spotify!

 

Doesn't need to be fancy, just a way to change what song or playlist is playing, pause and skip tracks. 

 

Would be incredibly useful and probably stop some users migrating to Beats Music - I know I'd consider it, especially if it's integrated with iOS and the watch. 

 

Don't make me do it, Spotify!

I'm going to try and make a basic Watch companion app

Same for me .. If Spotify doesn't move forward and push an apple watch app, I'll see competitors
