Spotify now lets you download music to your Apple Watch

Spotify finally has a new feature that lets you download music and podcasts to your Apple Watch.

Now you can fully enjoy your content without your iPhone.

Spotify has announced that the new feature will be rolling out gradually over the next few weeks starting May 21st.

With this new feature, the Options tab will now show options for downloading playlists, albums and podcasts to your Apple Watch.

Spotify says the purpose of this new feature is to give listeners a more mobile-friendly option.

Playback was previously controlled by the Apple Watch's Spotify app, but from now on, it will also be possible to download content to the Apple Watch.

Once it's downloaded to your Apple Watch, you can play the content even when you're not connected to the Internet or nearby your paired iPhone.

Apple Music listeners have been available since the Apple Watch first introduced downloads, but Spotify listeners have been left behind.

So Spotify is finally catching up to rival Apple. As a user, I am very happy that the ways in which I enjoy music are expanding.
