Tune into Spotify straight from your watch

Level up your Spotify experience from your wrist. You can use your smartwatch to stream your music, whether you’re on the go, at the gym, or listening at home. Here are some must-know tips and tricks, from handy new tiles to how to go for a jog without your phone.

To get the most out of Spotify, make sure you have it downloaded on all your devices. Once you’re logged in, use your watch to seamlessly control where your music is playing from. Just tap the device icon, then select your phone, tablet, Chromebook, or Bluetooth speaker. You can browse your library, or play, pause, skip, and like tracks, right from your watch.

Don’t slow your workout down by fiddling with your phone. Play music directly from your watch, either by streaming with an LTE-equipped device or by downloading while you’re connected to Wi-Fi. Connect your watch to Bluetooth earbuds to enjoy your music wherever you are, even if you don’t have your phone.

Tiles are a great way to get to your favorite watch features with just a few swipes. Add Spotify’s Heavy Rotation tile to your watch to quickly access your most played tracks, playlists, and other content. To add a tile, you can use the companion app on your phone.

Turn your dreaded train or bus commute into valuable me-time by quickly accessing just-dropped podcast episodes right from your watch. Add the Podcast tile to quickly get to your downloaded content, or if you’re connected to Wi-Fi or LTE, get recommendations for other podcasts you might like.

When you can’t be bothered with thinking about what to play next, add Spotify’s DJ tile to your watch. The AI-powered DJ will pick songs based on your listening history, and provide insightful spoken commentary about specific tracks and artists. Not feeling the current mood? Easily switch things up by tapping the blue DJ button to load a fresh mix. Connect your watch to your Bluetooth speaker, and you’re ready for a party.

Whether you do most of your listening while tackling housework, riding the train to work, or getting your steps in, Spotify’s watch app can help power your soundtrack while you focus on the task at hand.
