How To use Spotify On Apple Watch

 


If you're a Spotify subscriber with an Apple Watch, you can get a surprising amount of control straight from the wrist.

The Spotify app for Apple Watch means you don't have to reach for your smartphone to skip tracks or select a new playlist – whether that's out on a run or walking around the house.

Apple Watch owners can now do more than just pause and skip tracks: custom playlists and Spotify Connect are both at your disposal.

And a new update announced on 3 November 2020 means that you can also control playback independently from your iPhone via Wi-Fi or LTE. However, a month on and it still doesn't seem to have rolled out.

Read on to download the Spotify app, and learn just what you can and can't do with Spotify on your Watch.

 


Apple Watch On Spotify: Supported features

1-Control Music: Like the old Spotify functionality, you can pause, skip forward and back the music playing from the Apple Watch itself.

2. Browse Playlist and Tracks

It may surprise you but the Spotify Apple Watch app offers pretty extensive control over selecting and playback of music, straight from the wrist.

A swipe to the left shows you recent playlists that you've interacted with using your Spotify account. From here, you can scroll with your finger or the digital crown and change the playlist.

You can also hit Library and swap between playlists, podcasts, artists and albums and browse options within, playing any track you feel like. You won't get all the options in your library, but you'll get an extensive list of the most recently played 20 or so.

And if you swipe to the right, you'll get a list of tracks within the currently selected playlist so you can select the exact song you want to listen to. There's no limit there.

 

3. Play to Spotify Connect devices

There’s also a shortcut to Spotify Connect, which means you can ping your music to a compatible device. This could be your smartphone, Amazon Echo or Sonos speaker.

4. Add songs to your Spotify library

You can add music to your library straight from the Apple Watch screen. The prominently placed heart can be tapped, and the track will be added to your music library. To retrieve it, just go to the Songs list in your Spotify library.

When Spotify not responding then kindly check your internet Connection

5. Untethered music streaming

Spotify has been rolling out a new feature for Apple Watch that enables users to stream music without your iPhone. This would essentially offer the same functionality as above, but you could listen to music when out for a run without your iPhone.

Users will be prompted to decide if they want to stream selected music on the Apple Watch. You'll need to have a cellular or Wi-Fi connection to make it work.

However, it doesn't seem like this feature is globally available yet.

Now you can listen to podcasts from Apple, Spotify on your Amazon Echo smart speaker

 E arlier this year Apple and Amazon collaborated to bring Apple Music to Amazon's Echo range of smart speakers. And now, the two companies have collaborated once again to bring podcasts from Apple's Podcasts to Amazon's Echo range of smart speakers.Sometimes Echo Do not respond To our voice In a blog post, Amazon announced that now Alexa users will be able to listen to more than 800,000 podcasts through Apple Podcasts on their Alexa-enabled devices. Not only that, if Alexa users like their Apple ID with their Amazon account in their Alexa apps they will also be able to pick up the podcasts from right where they left them on the Apple Podcasts app or their Alexa-enabled smart speakers.

Alexa Says a Device is Not Responding, but She Controls it Just Fine?

  Be aware that sometimes Alexa reports a device is not responding when it really is. Sometimes, Alexa doesn't realize she actually did what you told her to, and fallaciously reports she's having issues.  Other times, she seems to think she completed a command, but nothing happens.  In other words, Alexa is not always a reliable reporter.  Don't always believe Alexa when she says a device is not responding.   I have this annoying issue with Alexa, my TV, and my Harmony Hub. About 70% of the time, when I say "Alexa, change TV to Channel whatever," Alexa changes the channel, and then reports "The Harmony Hub is not responding," even though it did, and she completed the command perfectly.   Other times, I ask Alexa to issue a Harmony Hub command, and she says "Okay," but nothing happens.  And I have to reissue the command to have Alexa perform the action I want. Alexa is particularly unreliable when it comes to my Harmony Hub and realizing ...
