Hey @laura123
If you follow the help guide for listening offline it will walk you through the steps on how to download your playlists on WiFi and then it will show you how to turn on Offline Mode inside the app so you do not use data while on the go. Using the Spotify app with mobile data turned on in the iOS settings, you will not be using data if the songs are already downloaded with the green arrow. However some data to connect to the Spotify servers will be used, so if you want to be sure not to use any mobile data, make sure to enable Offline Mode in the Spotify app.
