To get Spotify on Apple Watch, you’ll need: iPhone running iOS 12 or above. Apple Watch on watchOS 5.2 or above. Note: Make sure you’ve paired your Apple Watch to your iPhone with Bluetooth. /hight-quality-vs-free-spotify-seems-same.html. All you need for Spotify to show on your Apple Watch is the Spotify app installed on your iPhone and an account with us. Just open it on. Now, when I open the Spotify app on my watch, an option with a beta label lets me redirect audio to my AirPods Pro. Previously, I could only choose nearby AirPlay-equipped speakers as my source.

In brief: Spotify will begin testing an app for watchOS. Currently the player is pretty simplified and really only controls the music as it streams from a tethered iPhone. Hopes are that the app will become more robust in the future.

Apple and Spotify have an unusual relationship. On the one hand, they are direct competitors in the streaming market. Then, on the other hand, they both rely on each other in one way or another. More specifically, Spotify needs the iPhone to reach more listeners and Apple — well, it just doesn’t want to tick off its customers by disallowing its competitor’s app.

That might not be a big deal if you're the only one listening, but if you want to run a party's tunes through Spotify, you might find yourself explaining to guests why they're hearing a car insurance ad between jams.MORE: Special features: How much do the little things matter?Next, Spotify's non-paying users can't save songs to their devices for when they're offline. That's a huge perk for those who don't want to run up their mobile data bill or find themselves in regions without cellular service.If you've got nice headphones or a discerning ear, you might prefer Spotify Premium for its high quality audio option.

This symbiotic relationship is taking it to the next level as Spotify prepares to release an app for watchOS. According to the r/Apple subreddit, the app is going out to beta testers starting Friday.

For now, the app is said to be “bare-bones.” It is only very basic in that it just controls playback from the user’s phone. It will not be able to stream music straight from LTE-enabled watches — at least not for now.

Engadget points out that the Spotify App for Apple Watch has only been in development since early 2017, so the limited functionality is not that surprising. Andrew Chang, the developer of the Snowy app, was recruited by Spotify last year to quit working on Snowy and develop an official Spotify app instead.

Before transitioning to Spotify, Chang’s vision was to create an app that could stream music from the watch without the need for it to be tethered to an iPhone. He wanted to have robust features like offline syncing, Siri control, and custom watch face complications. Presumably, he has not lost this vision, and at least some of his ideas will surface down the road.

Until then a bare-bones Spotify app for watchOS is better than nothing.
