Spotify has finally started rolling out support for standalone streaming on its Apple Watch app. So, you don’t need an iPhone for listing to the Spotify library on your Apple Watch.
- The iPhone returns to default settings. Open Camera app; if you can take images again, your job is done. If the problem persists, keep reading. Step 5: Setup iPhone as new. Some users find that iPhone Camera not working issue is caused by restoration of an old backup. If facing the same issue, try erasing your iPhone and set it up as new.
- Even the most popular applications out there can crash including Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Viber,iMessage, Skype, Pokemon Go, WhatsApp, Maps, etc. Apps freezing and crashing on the iPhone fall into the category of common issues. There are a few solutions to try and we are going to list them all so the apps on your iPhone can run smoothly.
This feature arrives around two years after Spotify brought a dedicated app for Apple Watch. You need Apple Watch Series 3 or later with watchOS 6.0+ to stream Spotify directly on your Apple Watch.
Users only need a Wi-Fi or cellular network on Apple Watch with Spotify app and listen to via Bluetooth headphones or speakers. So, you don’t need to carry your iPhone if you are going for a run or walk. Simply go with Apple Watch for listening to your Spotify Libraries.
This feature is a server-side update and the company has already enabled it for all users. However, offline listening is still not available.
Reports suggest that there is no search function on the Spotify app and users need to use Siri for the search.
Spotify IOS app freezes and needs a restart after changing media Right now I am using the latest versions of both IOS (12.1.3) and Spotify (8.4.89.675). The app works just fine until I switch to another app and somehow pause the music (either playing another media or literally pausing the music by a button).
Spotify is not the first Apple Watch app supporting standalone streaming. Apple’s own Apple Music service and Pandora support standalone playback on Apple Watch.
Force quit the app, then open it again
- iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Force the app to close.
- Apple Watch: With the app open, press and hold the side button to show the power options. Then press and hold the Digital Crown to quit the app.
- Apple TV: Double press the TV/Home button and swipe left or right to find the app with the issue. Then swipe up to close the app. You can’t force apps to quit on Apple TV (3rd generation).
Restart your device
Restart your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Apple TV. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
Check for updates
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, watchOS, or tvOS. Then check for app updates.
- iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch: You can manually update apps. You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Apple TV: Go to Settings > Apps and turn on Automatically Update Apps. If you don't have automatic updates turned on, you can open the App Store, go to the Purchased tab, and open an app's product page to see if an update is available.
Reinstall the app

- Apple TV: Highlight the app on the Home screen, then press and hold the Touch surface until the app jiggles. Press Play/Pause, then select Delete. Open the App Store and redownload the app. Some apps require subscriptions for activation. If you can't activate the app or you don’t remember your sign-in information, contact the app developer.
- Apple Watch: Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap the My Watch tab. Scroll to the app you want to remove, then tap it. Turn off Show App on Apple Watch, and wait for it to disappear from your watch's Home screen. To reinstall the app, scroll down to Available Apps in the My Watch tab and tap Install.
