Spotify doesn’t work on my watch even though it is installed - i pay for Wi-Fi service so that I can make phone calls and listen to music even when I am not near my iPhone ?

Spotify does not work on my Apple Watch even though it’s installed and I pay for Wi-Fi service in the music and make calls when I’m running and don’t have my iPhone nearby. How do I get Spotify to work?

Hi ihookm,

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! You mentioned being able to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby which means you have a cellular plan for your Apple Watch, do we have that right?

According to Spotify, you need to have a Premium account, your iPhone should be up to date running the latest iOS and your Apple Watch should also be up to date. Check out more information here: Spotify on Apple Watch.

If you need to update your iPhone, you can go to Settings > General > Software Update. Check out: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

To update your Apple Watch, launch the Watch app on your iPhone > General > Software Update. Check out: Update your Apple Watch.

Hope that helps!
