How Do You Fix Spotify Not Working On Apple Watch?
Now that you know some of the common reasons why Spotify has stopped playing your favorite tunes, look at the quick fixes.
Confirm if Bluetooth and Internet connection is turned on
Verify whether your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone and the Internet. If your watch isn’t connected to either, Spotify will not work. You must pair your watch with your phone to control Spotify.
If you are streaming music on Spotify, your watch must be connected to the Internet. Without Internet connectivity, you can only listen to the downloaded tracks.
As mentioned above, free Spotify users must always keep their watch and the paired iPhone close by for an interruption-free musical experience.
To confirm your watch is connected to the Bluetooth and the Internet, you have to follow these steps:
- Hold the bottom of the screen and swipe up to open the Control Center
- Hold the Wi-Fi button and tap the available Wi-Fi network. Enter the password of the Wi-Fi network if prompted, and then click Join to connect successfully.
- To turn on Bluetooth, you must hold the Bluetooth icon and turn it on. You can connect it with your Bluetooth earphones or speaker to play your tunes.
Relaunch Spotify
One of the simplest solutions to get back on track is restarting Spotify. This will refresh all the services and elements of the application. Also, it might fix the temporary errors and software glitches within the application.
On your Apple Watch, you can relaunch the Spotify application by double-pressing the Digital Crown button. This will open the app switcher. Then, swipe left on the Spotify card to quit the app. Press the Digital Crown button again and open Spotify by going to the App Library.
Update the Spotify application
Spotify problems on your Apple Watch might be the result of running an outdated application. The developers of this music streaming application are continuously offering updates to improve user experience. You must ensure that you run the latest Spotify version if you want to avoid bugs and other software issues.
The Spotify application can be updated on the App Store on your iPhone. Once you have updated the app on your phone, it will automatically get updated on your watch.
Restart Apple Watch
If the above solutions haven’t worked wonders and you are still facing problems, you could try restarting your Apple Watch. As you shut down your watch, all the processes will be closed, and your watch will get a fresh start. For instance, if there’s a bug impacting Spotify’s performance, a quick restart will resolve the issue.
To shut down your watch, open the home screen and head to Settings > tap General > Shut Down. Wait for a few seconds and then hold the side button of the watch to power it on.
