Spotify now lets you download content to your Apple Watch
Spotify is finally rolling out a new feature that lets you download music and podcasts to your Apple Watch, so you can listen without an iPhone. In an article on For the Record , Spotify announced that the feature will begin rolling out on May 21 and over the next several weeks.
With the new feature, Spotify users will now see an option to download playlists, albums, and podcasts to their Apple Watch in the Options tab. Spotify has made it clear that it wants to create a more mobile-friendly option for listeners.
