Spotify’s updated Wear OS app will let you download tunes to your Galaxy Watch 4

While Spotify allows listening offline on smartphones for years – and arrives at Apple Watches earlier this year – finally coming to use OS SmartWatches in updates coming soon to owners of Galaxy Watch 4 and which can be charged.

Spotify first tempting features on Google IO 2021 in May, per what HIFI. Rolling updates to the Spotify Wear OS application in the coming weeks, allowing downloading offline music for premium users (for example paying) – Sorry, free tier listeners – but everyone will be able to download podcasts to their smartwatch, according to an official post blog.

Doing it is easy: just like the smartphone application, while listening to songs or albums or playlists or podcasts, tap ‘download to watch.’ The green arrow next to their name will appear, shows they are stored locally.

Smartwatches need to run WearOS 2.0 or newer to take advantage of new features, and also run the latest Spotify smartphone application on their partner’s handset.

Listen Offline: Finally Take advantage of the fat smartwatch storage

While more is always better in terms of specifications, we haven’t found it too much used for onboard storage on SmartWatch. Most are taken by the operating system and the applications that have been loaded – this occupies half of the 16GB of Galaxy Watch 4, for example – and the rest theoretically can be used for applications and music.

But the first doesn’t take up a lot of space, and really get the content downloaded to your smartwatch often as complicated because of getting a song on a old MP3 player.

It is much easier to download wireless content, as we have been able to do on cellphones for years – but the ability was recently added to SmartWatches, on service with a service base and first to Apple Watches (both ups and downs and spotify included Features on May updates).

That’s why Spotify added offline downloads for Wear OS Watches is a big problem. Although arriving a few months after the feature was added to Apple’s watch, it was still welcome now, especially after Samsung 4 new watches and watching 4 classics have a running booth that is running using OS 3 (made in partnership between Google and Samsung). While the launch is unclear, Spotify named Fossil, Mobvoi, and Suunto as an application update in the coming weeks, so watch the eye.
