Spotify app on family set up apple watch

[Neevilturtle]

I got my daughter an apple watch 7 with cell service. It looks like as of a few days ago, I should have the ability to add the app to her watch so she can play music from there directly without a phone. It still won't let me download it on her watch. 

Plan

Premium family

Country

USA

Device

Apple Watch 7 with cellular and GPS

Operating System

Watch OS 10.5

Welcome to the thread @mitch2711.

We understand where you're coming from, but at the moment Spotify doesn't have a standalone Apple Watch app and in order for each user to be able to listen to Spotify on their watch, they need to have an iPhone paired with it first. This is because there can be only one stream of music (music can play on one device at a time) with one account.

We really appreciate your feedback on the functionality of the Spotify app on Apple Watch. Right now, this is how the app works, but we're always looking for ways to improve and offer better functions.

It looks like there are other users that share the same thoughts and there's currently an Idea which you can vote for in order to show your support, as well as post any comments you may have. Keep in mind that the more kudos it gathers, the more likely it is for it to be implemented.

Don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything else we can help out with 🙂

Same problem. Spotify family plan subscriber, purchased so that my kid with an Apple Watch could use Spotify. We’ll have to switch to Apple Music if this is not resolved soon.
