🔥🔥🔥 GUYS!!!! YOU CAN LISTEN OFFLINE NOW!!! 😱😱😱
Check out my new video! th-cam.com/video/StYpVwuB7yE/w-d-xo.html
But how do I download my "favorite music" playlist? I can only download normal playlists I created.
Just copy the songs into a new Playlist I guess :)
@@PatrickRambles That's the workaround I'm running currently :(
Looks like my phone has to be on in order to play it even though when i turn off my phone I can still make calls on my watch....
For offline playlists?
Once you move to Spotify,there no looking back.
Agreed.
Omgggg omgggg I am gonna get me one hahaah 🙈
Do iiiiiiit! 😁
i like apple music way more than spotify
That makes things a lot easier for you in this case 😁
THANK GOD IT’S FINALLY HERE 🙌 - I actually returned my Apple Watch because I couldn’t stream my music on Spotify without the iPhone, so I’m happy they’ve finally added this
Same here, been waiting for this for ages!
I'm sorry, but I didn't understand. Does the Apple Watch need to be connected to a wifi network as well? Or is it only necessary for the cell phone to be connected to an internet?
Hey Matheus, to stream music you need to be connected to the internet somehow. The way I'm showing in the video is to have your watch directly connected to the internet via a cellular data plan with your carrier. Of course you need the cellular version of the watch for this. If you don't have that, then yes, you will need either your phone or wifi.
Excuse me for not being techy but in getting the cellular version do I have to have the watch on my Verizon data plan to be able to access Spotify?
Hi Tamara. Not to access spotify, but to stream your spotify playlists without your phone present. To be able to stream anything you will need an internet connection, so if it's not coming from your phone, it has to be the watch :)
nice video Patrick useful to know can use spotify on apple watch
keep it up bro
Thanks man!
Sucks you have to have cellular version of watch for this to work. Hopefully will change in future. This is first help video to make that clear! Thanks
Thanks! Yes it's too bad, I'm hoping for downloadable playlists too
So you can’t listen on the Apple Watch specifically? Like the Apple Watch speakers
Not really. But I don't think that would be a very good listening experience tbh..
I have a cellular watch but when I click on the little phone I don’t see the little option for my watch
Are you using spotify premium?
Hello Patrick, If I have an Apple Watch without an LTE connection, when I’m connected to wifi can I still listen to Spotify with the Airpods connected to the Apple Watch?
Hi Matteo, this is Spotify's official statement : To stream Spotify directly from your wrist you need to be a Spotify Premium user and have an Apple Watch Series 3 or later, with watchOS 6.0+ (recommend 7.1+) along with a cellular connection or wifi. Please make sure you are also running the latest version of Spotify on your iPhone.
@@PatrickRambles thank you so much for the answer, I understand and now it works
Glad it works !
So the sim card needs to go into the apple watch?
Hey Joost, these watches have built in e-sims. You can add them to your mobile network (depending also which network you have, not all of them support this).
Can it work on series 3?
If it's cellular :)
is this work on iwatch 3 series?
Yes, 3 and up.
I have a series 3 but it doesnt work it doesnt show up “Name” watch
Are you using spotify premium
@@PatrickRambles no :(
That's why it's not working. Unfortunately you need it.
@@PatrickRambles oh alright
But even after pairing earbuds, when I press the devices option then apple watch is not displayed. PLEASE HELP
Sorry to ask but do you have the cellular version of the watch and is it connected to a data plan?
@@PatrickRambles please help I have the same problem. Mine is GPS + Cellular Series 6
me too please help
@@PatrickRambles Yes
Then the functionality hasn't rolled out to you yet, most likely. It's a waiting game...
Finnaly no need a phone 😍😍😍😍
🥳🙌
You’re a saint
😇
It blows my mind how difficult it is to make the watch useful without having the phone around... I thought that's the hole point
I feel you man. My personal feeling is that Apple doesn't want to cannibalise their own lineup. They don't want any of their products to become obsolete against another one. I'm sure the watch is capable of much more than we have access to.
Whole*
@@EBGamez1 You feel special?
@@PatrickRambles Exactly! That’s why, contrary to common belief they’ll not make it possible for the iPad to be the equivalent of Mac’s usability even with the M1 chip capabilities.
That’s y I changed back to Samsung Galaxy Watch from Series 4 , 2 years ago!!! Can use internet, listen radio, watch TH-cam etc not necessarily needed but for me it’s mandatory since my phone will be not with me tonight and I rely on watch to listen sports commentary!!
WTF you have only 4.76 k subscribers?? Your way of representation and video quality is absolutely top notch. You deserve million of subscribers.
Ah thanks man, that's very kind of you :)
Now, 10k lol
@@PatrickRambles we love you Patrick!
@@csanacs_ now 15k, thats like a 400% growth in half a year
Thank you so much ❤️
This video answered the exact questions I wanted to know before buying my first Apple Watch. Thank you! 🙂
Let me know how you like it!
@@PatrickRambles My SE watch arrived yesterday! But I've found the set up process to be quite daunting, and I'm spending a lot more time researching everything than I thought would be necessary. Not quite as user-friendly as my iphone (imo). I got the SE with GPS and cellular capability purely so I could listen to music and make calls while out and about without my phone, so as you can imagine I was a bit frustrated to learn that I have to pay £7 per month for a separate plan to actually use the GPS and cell feature. There wasn't that much info out there about the need for a separate plan, not sure I would have invested in a watch had I known that beforehand.. -_- Hopefully as time goes on I'll learn to appreciate my new watch?
Hey Kayla, that really sucks. Different countries and carriers have different rules. I am based in Belgium. Connecting the watch to my data plan is free of charge. Can imagine your disappointed and hope you will still enjoy the watch!
I asked my mom for Apple Watch
She gave me an Apple logo shaped watch 😪😂
😂😂
Damn❤😂😂😂
Dude, how have i only just found out about this? I've got a huge set of runs coming up and was about to download tracks to my watch and go through all that painstaking annoyingness. You are a lifesaver. Thank you.
Thanks man! Glad it was useful.
So wait, do you HAVE TO stream the music/songs? Or do you simply just have to download them using wifi and then you can listen to them anytime regardless of having cellular or not?
Spotify is ❤️, so are you and the Apple Watch 🔥
Thanks Aabid :)
All thanks to *hevron202* on 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮
He got mine fixed successfully within minutes, he’s legit and reliable
Expect the part where you need cellular
Yes it's unfortunate that we can't download playlists (yet). But streaming without an internet connection is not possible. So if the connection isn't coming from your phone, it will have to come from your watch. Seems logical to me 🤷♂️
Wow, this is amazing! Great explanation.
This is honestly the biggest reason to buy a Apple Watch IMO. Truly hands free music.
Hey man, thanks! Yes, for me too :)
Hi guys, I'm getting a lot of questions about compatibility of different watches. Here's is what spotify says : To stream Spotify directly from your wrist you need to be a Spotify Premium user and have an Apple Watch Series 3 or later, with watchOS 6.0+ (recommend 7.1+) along with a cellular connection or wifi. Please make sure you are also running the latest version of Spotify on your iPhone.
Hi Patrik, I have apple watch SE cellular and also have spotify premium. I had connected my my watch with bluetooth earphones and I did answer calls on earphones only. However, I am not able to listen to songs from watch while I run. Could you pls help?
Does it work when you're connected to the phone?
@@PatrickRambles nope
Hm weird. Sounds like a bug in the Spotify app then since everything else works. Do you see the watch icon in the spotify app? If not, try deleting and reinstalling the app
@@PatrickRambles like u had mentioned it should show play from which device, but in my case only iphone option is visible!
Hey guys, seems like there is some added functionality now. Comment from Honey Bees: "I just got back from my jog and I know you said that we are limited to playing our playlists and can’t search new music but I was able to ask Siri on my watch to play a song that you would have had to search but instead you can just ask Siri to play any song which is way more convenient than doing a search mid workout! Just say hey Siri play ...on Spotify".
And I just saw that if you have a smart TVs your watch gives you the option to connect to it as well!
That I knew 😁
yeah you are right. I actually discovered it by saying Hey Siri play (song of choice)to spotify then it will ask your permission to access sporify and there you go. I got the idea from using my Garmin alexa plus when I ask Alexa tell Garmin to take picture.
@@PatrickRambles can you download your music to listen offline?
Unfortunately not (yet). I hope they will add that in a future update.
Those drone shots thoughhhh oooooffffff 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you sir
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” he loves you and will always be there for you guys no matter your situation have a great day.
And now I have to watch, because it doesn’t work. I’m on Premium, have the Apple Watch SE2 Cellular and it won’t show up. Doesn’t even plays Music that’s downloaded to the Watch. Reinstalled the Apps both on iPhone and Watch a couple of times, with no change. Don’t know, what to do next. Any Ideas? Got the Apple Watch today and for this feature I payed extra for cellular. At least the cellular connection itself is free for my Watch with my phone contact…
Same here. I have the iWatch 8 cellular and on Spotify, the option to choose my iWatch does not show, only the iPhone. Grrr!
apple didn’t restrict spotify from playing music. spotify just didnt care enough to update it
You sure about that?
@@PatrickRambles the kit for developers it’s out since the iOS 5 release, but Spotify don’t care...
Spotify would update if was not restrict...so why bother if apple do not allow some things...thats why they do not update
The fact that you need Spotify Premium makes it seem like this is a Spotify restriction over an Apple restriction.
My apple watches shows me that i need to download spotify app for iphone but i already have it
Is it possible to download music onto the watch through Spotify so I don’t need a cellular version of the watch? For example on the Spotify app on the iPhone you can download playlists so you don’t need wifi or cellular to listen to them.
Hey Matt! Unfortunately not (yet). You can do this with Apple Music though. My guess is apple doesn't allow this for other apps.
@@PatrickRambles It now does seem with Apple Watch Series 9 you ARE able to download playlists, and then the bluetooth device works fine. But it was quite fiddly!
Super helpful and to the point. Not much rambling despite the name which is great. Love you thanks Patrick
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope someone can help! I have everything needed but I am not getting my watch as an option in the spoitfy app on my watch OS. I have apple watch se gen 2.
Try logging out of spotify on your phone and back in.
Awww man, I was hoping to be able to listen to spotify playlists without cellular haha
Just got my series 6 gps
Yet anyways, very helpful and nice video. Also these drone shots are dope! 💪
Thanks man! Yeah offline playlists are still not available. Let's hope this is a stepping stone.
Now you can my friend :) Spotify released a update were you can download your playlist to Spotify and play it offline
It's rolling out atm, it will be a staggered release, just like the streaming function was.
@@someonebartender I just find out! Does this mean non cellular apple watches can play music?
@@jorgecerda Yeah. You just need to download the playlist first from your iPhone
is it possible to download the Spotify playlist on the watch to listen to it without internet connection?
Hi Lars, it has been a much requested feature, but sadly, no. Not yet.
@@PatrickRambles : I just payed a premium account to download my playlists... very disappointed.
Hi Jeremie, yeah apple watch doesn't support that yet. Only the phone.
Thank you so much! I have been searching online how to do this. Google doesn’t always have the answers. Never underestimate the power of our TH-cam community.
Hey thanks! I'm glad it was useful :)
@@PatrickRambles I just got back from my jog and I know you said that we are limited to playing our playlists and can’t search new music but I was able to ask Siri on my watch to play a song that you would have had to search but instead you can just ask Siri to play any song which is way more convenient than doing a search mid workout! Just say hey Siri play ...on Spotify.
Even songs you don't have in your list yet?
@@PatrickRambles Yes! Sometimes you may have to say the artist and song.
Very cool. Must be added functionality! That makes it even better 👍 thanks for letting everyone know. I'm gonna pin your comment.
Now that drone shots
🤯
🙂
I live in india
This isnt showing in my country
Help please
Hey, when I’m in the gym and I have wifi, can i stream music from my apple watch with having my phone in the lockers?
Hi Noah. Some people reported they can't. But here is Spotify's official statement :
To stream Spotify directly from your wrist you need to be a Spotify Premium user and have an Apple Watch Series 3 or later, with watchOS 6.0+ (recommend 7.1+) along with a cellular connection or wifi. Please make sure you are also running the latest version of Spotify on your iPhone.
So to me it looks like what you're asking is possible. The question is whether that functionality has fully rolled out yet. I'd say give it a shot!
Spotify doesn't offer offline listening. Not sure if it's them or apple being restrictive.
Great!!
❤️❤️❤️
i dont have it and i didn´t find the apple watch on "play on device"
Facing same problem.
same
Bro i have iwatch 6 but in my Spotify there isn't the option to connect to my airpods pro is there any issues..??
Do you have spotify premium ?
Great video Patrick, and it's pretty cool that Apple is finally letting Spotify work well with the Apple watch
Thanks JOHANNES!
That’s not the case apparently. It’s Spotify that needed to update its app.
Hi, great video! I have just bought the Apple Watch SE and followed your tutorial to stream Spotify podcasts whilst running without my phone. The podcast will play the first 5 or so minutes then the audio will stop but the elapsed playback time will keep counting down. I have premium Spotify account. Any suggestions??
Did you ever get this resolved?
Yeah literally I’m having the same issue, was there any update to this man? Did you have to go to the carrier store and have them do something to fix this? Please let us know. Thanks
Yeah literally I’m having the same issue, was there any update to this man? Did you have to go to the carrier store and have them do something to fix this? Please let us know. Thanks
What if this doesn’t work?? I’ve been so frustrated with my watch not being able to do any of the things I bought it for. It just won’t play on my watch. It loads and loads and just goes back to my phone.
Great video!
What battery life do you get if you stream via spotify and use GPS-tracking of a run at the same time?
Hi Ivan, I generally don't get more than a day of battery life. I charge mine every night, since the sleep tracker isn't great anyway. I wish apple will improve the battery life. I don't understand why some wearOS or Tizen watches run multiple days but apple somehow can't make that happen.
@@PatrickRambles that’s why I am now using a fitbit because battery lasts days and It reads my heart rate every second,... I will upgrade my apple watch when battery last days, and heart rate monitor is always on. And its display has to be always on for the price of Apple Watch SE. I am not spending $400
I get where you're coming from. I used to own a fitbit versa and it is a great fitness tracker. I just wanted a little more functionality so I decided on the Apple watch. I'm a nerd, so I enjoy being able to open my front door with my watch 😂. But yeah, battery life isn't great and things like sleep tracking are just a gimmick on the Apple watch. Maybe one day
Great video 👌, now I just need an apple watch and Spotify 😂
Haha
I have a cellular watch it shows up with the phone icon but it doesn’t have the option for the watch. I’ve been trying this for years and it is driving me insane and it won’t work. Please help.
I’ve been trying for 15 mins and it keeps saying it’s trying to connect to my watch for Spotify. I’m honestly just about to go back to Samsung, Apple is unnecessarily annoying
Hey Mohamed, I feel your frustration man! A solution for some has been to upgrade watch OS to latest firmware, reinstall spotify and forget and reconnect the Bluetooth buds. Also a hard watch reset dan help. New functionality is always buggy. Hard do say whether it's Apple's fault or Spotify.
How do u login on your account on the Apple Watch
A fellow Pentatonix listener!
A man of culture 👂
Love them!
How did you get the Spotify app
Exactly what I was looking for , thank you.
Glad it was useful :)
@@PatrickRambles my Apple Watch not showing watch option in Spotify app
@@pariveshraiify are you using spotify premium
So it only work if u have premium Spotify?
Yes, unfortunately.
Please let me know if they update to include downloading songs from spotify to the device so that it works with the GPS only version.
Hey man, that's on my wish list is well!
@@PatrickRambles Just bought the 6 series GPS (my carrier in the UK doesn’t support the cellular model) so I’ll be keeping an eye out on this channel. Thanks.
My problem is that whenever Spotify opens, I can’t connect or add my AirPods to my Spotify. It’s so frustrating, I can’t use it without my phone. URGH
Is it spotify premium?
What would you recommend doing if the apple watch isnt listed as a device. I tried to connect the earbuds but the apple watch was not listed as a device on spotify. Is there anything i can do to add it as a device for spotify?
Are you using spotify premium?
How do you add the Apple Watch though?
Thanks for the vid. However I just got a series 7 Apple Watch and it’s not showing up as a device to switch to on the Spotify app. So I can only listen with my iPhone around. I have the cellular version. Anyone else experiencing this and, if so, what’s the fix? Thanks.
Are you using spotify premium?
@@PatrickRambles no not premium, the regular free version.
Unfortunately spotify requires you to get a premium sub to get the features.
@@PatrickRambles Aw bummer. Ok thanks for the info.
Actually you dont have to have celluar, atleast in Europe. I tried today with my series 8 and all you have to do just download the playlist into your watch and then follow the video. :)
I did an update video on the download capability. When I uploaded this video, that wasn't out yet. Do note that the audio quality of downloaded songs is significantly lower than streamed songs.

Can u do this without a cellular watch if the music is downloaded ?
Hey Plony, you can't currently download playlists on spotify for Apple watch. Only streaming, so yes you will need a cellular watch for that ( or your phone of course)
@@PatrickRambles thanks 🙏
So here’s an interesting issue I’m having.
I have the newest SE watch. I have spotify downloaded on both my phone and watch and up to date. I also have spotify premium and should have the ability to stream online without having to download anything to my watch. However under my device list both on my phone and watch, the watch option that appeared for you doesn’t appear for me despite having Bluetooth buds paired to the watch as well as both being connected to the same network. Any ideas?
This may sound silly but log out of spotify and back in. It worked for a lot of people in the comments.
Do u need premium spotify
Would it be possible to download playlists at home on the GPS version (no cellular) and stream them by bluetooth when running without Wi-fi? Thank you in advance!
Yes. As long as you have spotify premium
@@PatrickRambles thanks!
Do I need my AirPods case?
Nope!
Hey I use series 7 cellular but for me it is not showing the watch option
Quality sound sucks on Spotify. So I’m stuck with regular MUSIC app.
It’s not working for me , I have a series 6 cellular version , I don’t see a watch icon , I can see only my phone icon on Spotify .
Hi Yaseer, if you're on a cellular plan and it's still not working, the only explanation I know is that the functionality hasn't rolled out to your region or watch yet.
Yes I’ve been having the exact same problem I have no clue what’s going on
I don't understand why you still can't download Spotify playlists onto the watch without a cellular plan. I have a mighty vibe for music on runs and it allows me to download a few thousand songs for my runs and simply makes you give it an update if you haven't synched to your Spotify account in over a month in case you don't have an active subscription. Seems like an easy application for the watch, especially for someone like me that doesn't really need another data plan.
Yes you can. Just connect the watch to Spotify and then through your phone or computer, you can download music to your watch and then listen without your phone, WiFi, or cellular
Bro is the search option available now ????
( plz reply )
Mine dosent give an option for the Apple Watch SE and it’s cellular
So I need a separate data plan for my watch from my phone to be able to listen to anything other than Apple Music which I hate using fucking brilliant 🤣🤣
Hey Chris, I wholeheartedly agree with you, it's dumb.
Spotify announced recently that downloading playlists to the Apple Watch to play offline is now available. Could you make a tutorial on how to do this?
Hey man, I sure will. Currently I haven't got the option available to me yet but I'll keep you posted.
the fudge bro, i have to get the freaking cellular for music, hell no
It worked for me once on a run. Now when I try the watch logo just flashes then goes back to my phone.
Are you using spotify premium?
What sucks is that you have to have internet service in order to stream the app that sucks!
Apple Watch with cellular should be a damn iPod. It’s trash
Now you can download songs to Apple Watch in the Spotify app on your phone so you no longer need the cellular version
Check out my latest video :)
Terrific vid, thanks. But I run on remote roads. No cell coverage. Uggh. Can Apple Watch download Spotify songs & playlists that I might carry and play direct to Airpods? Or is it "stream" only?
Thanks Stu! Unfortunately only Apple Music allows downloading playlists. Go figure...🙄
anyone else having trouble connecting to the watch itself? it’s so annoying
Mine works sometimes, if I go to the gym and put my phone in their safe box my music stops playing, might be because there’s no service in the box but I have cellular on my watch so very confused
That’s odd. If cellular on your watch us active , you shouldn’t need your phone.
I dont have a Apple watch thing over the iphone button
Are you using spotify premium?
@@PatrickRambles no
Unfortunately it's required
@@PatrickRambles oh
I want to play podcasts from the watch speaker. Not headphones
I think Spotify released that you can download a list.
Can TH-cam Music do the same on apple watch?
How do we know if our apple watch is the cellular version?
it seems like I have to a spotify PREMIUM not regular to be able to use cellular, correct?
Correct, unfortunately.
Mine didn’t have the option to change to headphones
Are you using spotify premium
@@PatrickRambles no maybe that’s why
@@PatrickRambles do you know any other apps that I can use to listen to music on my watch offline without paying
Most likely.
I can't see the Apple Watch option when i click on the green phone? Is it not out in all countries yet?
It's possible, yes. Just to be sure, check that your watch is on the latest firmware and delete and reinstall spotify. It's helped for some.
I can’t find the watch option, only my phone. I have the Apple Watch SE. Does that change anything?
Hi, I have an Apple Watch SE as well. If you don't see the watch option at all, my guess would be it hasn't rolled out to where you are yet. Is the watch updated to the latest firmware?
@@PatrickRambles yes. The watch has the latest firmware.
Then the roll-out is the only reason I could think of why it might not be working. Hope it works soon for you, must be frustrating.
Same way I missed SoundCloud in apple watch
Hi mate, I’m looking at buying a cellular series 5 and was just wondering if apple watches are actually ’worth it’... would you say you utilise it enough?
Hey man, I think they definitely are and I highly recommend the Apple Watch SE for best bang for buck. I've used Fitbit and Galaxy watches in the past and I always ended up selling them because I didn't use them. Apple watches are another level. Super versatile, I use mine all day. I didn't think I would, to be honest.
I just did a review of the SE by the way. Have a look!
@@PatrickRambles thank you! I will definitely check that video out :)
This isn’t working for me, when I go to the phone icon, it won’t show me an option to connect to Apple Watch. Automatically connects to my iPhone and even though I’m connected to my headphones on my Apple Watch, it will only play through my iPhone
Are you using spotify premium?
Doesn’t U need a cellular subscription for it to work? The question is that I can play Musik just from my watch without the subscription?
I really appreciate answers, thanks
Yes, as explained in the video, you need a cellular plan on your watch. However, recently Spotify has announced they are working on offline playlists.
Im from Russia! THANK YOU :)
So i can't use spotify ob my WatchSE without Cellulare? Also when my Phone is byside me?
Hi Rob, you can definitely use spotify with you phone with you.
My Instagram is Patrick_rambles. Just DM me your issue and I'll get back to you :)
ooow.. ah i do not have the right cellular phone subscription that is why i am struggling ti get this to work. Thanks a lot mate, i watched 3 different vids from guys who forgot to mention this but now i understand why i do not see this option in spotify.
Yeah you need the cellular on the watch to work and have spotify premium installed.
For some reason I want to download spotify on my apple Watch but it's requires an iPhone! I don't have an iPhone so how do I download it?
Operating an Apple watch without an iphone is nearly impossible. Apple made sure to make it iPhone dependent.
