Hey everyone,

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.

Yes it is probably the number one requested ferature - at least for Apple watch owners. I used to complain and be like I am going to move to another service .. and I did try a couple -  but yeah Spotify is the best music subscription service so i opt instead to be patient.

If spotify won’t do this I am moving away with my whole family. Is time to stop whining about equality and deliver the (actually useful) features which are provided by other services.

I really hope Spotify will update the Apple Watch app to support streaming and/or saving playlists locally soon. I'd loved to be able to run without my phone and really prefer Spotify over Apple Music. It's much more intuitive and I've been using it for years. I'd love not give all my money to Apple. I've got 3 months of Apple Music for free right now which I'm going to use for my outdoor runs this summer. I'd really like to keep using Spotify if they can provide this enhancement!

I think this post says it all. When can we expect this feature? 

 

Edit: Ah, I see it was already posted. Didn't see the comments, sorry for that. But it never hurts to emphasize a need!

I'm so upset that spotify does not have offline streaming for the apple watch, also there's already 2 years apple introduced cellular in its watches and still spotify wasn't able to uptdate to use cellular? this unaceptable since we pay a monthly subscription, EVEN PANDORA has it and you guys don't.

This is so frustatring, what the **bleep** are your app development department doing?! SERIOUSLY

Why can’t I stream from my Apple Watch to my Bluetooth device when away from my phone, even though I have mobile access to the watch?
