Apple has been offering for more than two yearsa Spotify application on your connected watch, the Apple Watch. But until now the latter was not completely disconnected from your iPhone, making its use quite rudimentary. The application only served as a “remote control” for the iPhone which therefore had to be kept close by. It was the phone that managed the broadcast, and not the watch which had the controls on its screen.
But Spotify has changed this way of doing things, it is now possible to operate the application only using your Apple Watch. For example, if it has a cellular connection or wifi, it will be able to connect to Spotify on its own and offer you your usual library. News that was eagerly awaited by some users of the streaming service. By adopting this new functionality, Spotify is gradually getting closer to Apple Music.
Accelerated development
Despite the disputes between Spotify and Apple, particularly around the question of commissions in the App Store, the streaming platform does not forget its audience on Apple devices.
In recent weeks Spotify has intensified the development of its application on iPhone. She now benefitsthe un widget under iOS 14, like its direct competitor Apple Music.
Already last spring, Spotify teams improved Siri support in the application. If the fight with the native Apple Music service may seem lost in advance, Spotify remains to this day the main music streaming application in the world. On Apple devices alone, the Swedish music company has almost 120 million subscribers, twice as many as Apple Music.
