Streaming Spotify music finally arrives on the Apple Watch without requiring an iPhone paired alongside it. It was time to finally have this functionality which is very useful in different circumstances.
Music in complete autonomy!
It is now possible to stream music with Apple Watch via your cellular network or WiFi even if it is not paired to your iPhone. This feature was not available before and it is very restrictive if you do not have your smartphone nearby. So Spotify started supporting this feature. It allows you to view and listen to different types of content on your Apple Watch, independently of the iPhone. This streaming application has been available for years on the Apple Watch but it had to be associated with an iPhone for it to work.
This feature has been expected for quite some time, because certain activities were not possible without having the iPhone next to it. Users can now, for example, listen to music while exercising, jogging, etc. You can now stream music from your Apple watch to your Bluetooth headset with complete freedom.
