Spotify launches its Apple Watch app giving you the ability to seamlessly access and control your favourite music and podcasts without missing a beat. With this new app, users can enjoy an improved experience with better control and the ability to seamlessly connect to speakers or devices. Future planned enhancements include the ability to listen to your music and podcasts offline.
Features of Spotify on the Apple Watch include:
- Hit play from your Apple Watch without having to get your phone out of its running case
- Pause play from your watch
- Skip tracks
- Rewind 15 seconds, so while listening to your favourite podcast, you can easily rewind 15 seconds to catch that detail you missed directly on the watch face.
- Connect your speakers or devices via Spotify Connect.
Discovery has been made easier and the new integration with Apple Watch makes accessing your recently played songs simple, even with your phone in your pocket. Plus, if you find a new favourite track while on the go, just tap the ♡ icon on your watch screen to save it to your collection – allowing you to stream it again and again.
The new experience is in the process of rolling out to Apple Watch users this week. Users will need to have the latest version (v.8.4.79) of Spotify which can be downloaded from the App Store here.
