Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.
Тhis has been one of our most upvoted ideas and we've known it's something that our users would really like to see come true. We're happy to announce that this feature will now become available for the Apple Watch Series 3 or later.
It will be gradually rolled out, so it might take a bit until everybody has access to it. That being said, we'd like to let you know that the roll-out rate has increased a lot in the last weeks, so if you haven't received the feature in the past, try reinstalling the app on your watch again and there's a big chance you'll get Offline listening now.
Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better and voting to make this happen, here on the Community.
Apple opened their API in 2018 to Spotify and other streaming services. some shitty watch holders like Garmin , Samsung or whatever think their is better soo go get the watch and enjoy. Apple Watch is number selling watch in the world and Spotify’s developer are slow and ignorant to game. They can’t afford to pay 30% for first month and the it’s 15%. Poor Spotify want to keep all the profit and not share with musicians and Apple/ google etc. what a dodgy European company.
@ddowing You can't blame Spotify for the competition with Garmin. You can listen to music on the Apple Watch after all; with Apple Music.
Anyway, running with an AW and an iPhone, playing offline playlists from the phone, is very buggy. Music sometimes stops, and often it just replays the last three tracks over and over. I hope the update comes with a generally les buggy Watch app.
I did it a few days ago. Too much focus on podcasts, too less effort on music. And an UI that is getting worse and worse for music lovers that really care about artists and albums. that want to decide on theirselves what they are listining to. that don't want to just start any playlist and never care about what's playing.
spotify should rename their brand to "castify" or "playlistify"
I fully agree that it took way too long.. I even tried Apple Music in between.. but for me the download to Apple Watch function is working, so they are actually rolling it out! Perhaps you can try to delete and re-install the app? The functionality does not seem to come available because of an app update, it was an in-app popup that informed me it was available for me.
