Spotify Lite celebrates first anniversary and is now available in 37 countries. Spotify Lite is a small fast and simplified version of our app built from the ground up based on user feedback from around the world. This has allowed millions of listeners in areas with limited bandwidth and phone storage to enjoy audio wherever they are.
In the 12 months since launch, listeners around the world have enjoyed and discovered thousands of new artists and podcasts while easily controlling their data and storage. Since July 2019 listeners in Brazil have listened to the most music using Lite, out of all 37 markets with the app. They’re followed by Mexico, India, Indonesia, and Argentina.
Spotify Lite is available in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Oman, Jordan, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and India.

The Spotify Lite app can be downloaded separately from the main Spotify app, and is available for both Free and Spotify Premium users. It can be used alongside or independently from the main Spotify app on all Android phones running version 4.3 or higher.
