Several Apple Watch users say that they have received a message on their Apple Watch asking if they would like to stream Spotify on their timepieces. Currently, all that Spotify's Apple Watch app can do on the smartwatch is act as a remote control device for the music streamer's iPhone app. Previously, the Spotify app on the Apple Watch could only control the Spotify app on a user's iPhone. However, this beta allows LTE users the ability to take their music on the go while leaving. I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 and Spotify 0.8.2.610.g090a06f8. Updated: 2016-04-14. I developed a utility allowing the use of the Apple Remote with Spotify in order to play/pause, go to next/previous track, control the volume and speak the artist/title.

Despite having an app since 2018 on the Apple Watch, Spotify has not created a native wearable experience, instead vastly functioning as a control for the Spotify app on the iPhone. One of the limitations of the app is that it doesn't allow users to stream music directly to their Apple Watch without an ‌iPhone‌ connection, which effectively makes it a wrist-based remote control for Spotify on ‌iPhone‌. However, recently users have reported seeing a blue 'beta' icon within the watch's connected devices window, which has allowed them to stream directly through the device with no iPhone connection required.

Previously, the Spotify app on the Apple Watch could only control the Spotify app on a user's iPhone. However, this beta offers LTE users the ability to take their music on the go while leaving their iPhone at home to go for a run, for instance. Users with the feature report that they can stream Spotify through connected Bluetooth headphones or through the Apple Watch's built-in speaker over LTE or Wi-Fi.

However, the Spotify app for Apple Watch still has no option to store music locally on your wrist for offline listening and Spotify doesn't release a beta for that feature. But there is still a way to play Spotify music offline on your Apple Watch. Read below tutorial.
