Using downloaded spotify playlist without iPhone

Hello,


I have spotify premium and downloaded a few playlist to my apple watch to listen to when I go for runs but everytime I leave the house and my phone disconnects (since I don’t bring it with me) my music stops playing.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should be doing to fix this issue. I don’t like bringing my phone with me on runs.

Hello Phil.geerts,


For specific help with listening offline to your music from Spotify on your Apple Watch, we'd recommend looking over the steps from Spotify.


Spotify on Apple Watch


You will want to make sure your watchOS is version 7.0 or above. Also note they mention having paired Bluetooth headphones to your Apple Watch.


Listen offline
You can download at least 10 hours (depending on your model) of music and podcasts to Apple Watch so you can listen without the internet.
Note: There’s a limit of 100 downloads per playlist.

Download tracks to your Apple Watch from the Watch app
1. Swipe right to access the home screen.
2. Find a playlist you’d like to download, and tap Download.


If it still isn't working, and you do have paired Bluetooth headphones to your Apple Watch, you may need to remove the Spotify app on your Apple Watch, then redownload it. Start with these steps: Download apps on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Take care.
