The songs must first be added to an online library in order to play the music on the device. That should change with a new function.

Option must be activated manually
The new feature can be activated via the settings of the app. The option “Show files on the device” can be found here. When the function is activated for the first time, the user of the application must still grant the necessary permissions so that Spotify can access the files on the smartphone. Of course, the option can be deactivated again at any time.
Function is likely to be provided in waves
It is still unclear when the corresponding update will be rolled out. The import function may be distributed in the coming days. It is conceivable that users in different regions will receive the update at different times.
