Reasons Why Spotify Not Working on Apple Watch?
Apple and Spotify are two of my favorite things. I love to listen to music while walking around and doing chores. But sometimes, it didn’t work properly. So, What do I do in that situation? Let’s see.
1. Bluetooth Issue
Sometimes, there’s a poor Bluetooth connection between the app watch and the iPhone, so the Spotify app, even after being enabled on the Apple watch, does not work.
Turn on the Bluetooth this way.
Swipe to the bottom> Settings> Double-click on Bluetooth.
Make sure there is strong stability of Bluetooth between both the device and the app.
2. Internet Connection / Airplane Mode
Sometimes, it’s my internet connection. Make sure your Apple Watch is connected to the same wifi with the iPhones. Check that two devices are connected on the same wifi before opening Spotify.
Also, you will see that airplane mode also works as a barrier between Apple Watch and iPhones. In this case, you won’t be able to enable streaming music from the Spotify app.
3. No Paired Bluetooth Headphones
One thing that I face mostly. It’s a no pairing between my Bluetooth and wireless headphones. Make sure you have paired your wireless Bluetooth headphones on. Click on the Bluetooth setting and pair your headphones with Apple watches.
4. Obsolete Version of Spotify
A very rare but also a reason that Spotify doesn’t work properly. Sometimes, your Spotify needs to be fixed on an Apple Watch even better connection.
So first, make sure your Spotify is working well by testing. If you can hear any music, it may be because of a glitch in the software, so you won’t be able to select from the playlist. It needs to be updated to a new version.
