Spotify announced that it is bringing the ability to download playlists, albums, and podcasts on Apple Watch for offline listening.

Users will have to have a Spotify Premium account and an Apple Watch Series 3 or later to experience the downloads option.

Spotify in a statement said, “Starting today, we are beginning to roll out the ability for Premium users to download playlists and podcasts to Apple Watch for offline use.”

Apple Watch Series 3 users and latter running on watchOS 6.0 or later (recommended watchOS 7.1 and up) will be able to access offline music downloads from their Spotify Premium account. This requires users to have the latest version of the Spotify app on their iPhone.

Users can use Siri on their Apple Watch to play songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts. Users can also mark one of their music tracks as ‘favorite,’ and ask ‘what’s currently playing or make adjustments such as control volume, skip track, play or pause a song using Siri.

Spotify says the new experience will be available to all eligible Apple Watch users globally over the coming weeks.
