Notably, this also includes the recently announced Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, as they also run on Wear OS.<br \/>\nSpotify was working on this offline playback feature for quite some time now. It has taken them too long to serve this feature on the Wear OS smartwatches.<br \/>\nA Reddit user, having TicWatch Pro, has confirmed that the reception of this new update. As per the screenshots shared by the user, it shows a new icon showing the playback is currently on the watch.<br \/>\nThe comment section of this user\u2019s Reddit post is filled with user comments confirming the update is indeed rolling out in full swing.<br \/>\nHowever, there are a few pre-requisites, that need to be fulfilled before you can use Spotify offline on a Wear OS device. The offline Spotify playback is available only for Wear OS 2.0 or newer.<br \/>\nSpotify offline playback feature is only live for Premium subscribers<br \/>\nMoreover, in order to enjoy the offline playback feature from your wrist, you need to have a Spotify Premium membership.

So, if you are a Spotify Premium user, then you can head to your favorite track, hit the Download to watch button.<br \/>\nOnce the download is complete, it will be available for offline playback. A little green arrow will be shown next to the content\u2019s name to highlight that it is available for offline streaming.<br \/>\nThe good thing, though, is that free users can listen to offline downloaded podcasts from the Wear OS devices.

Cut to now, it is already live for many Wear OS smartwatch users.<br \/>\nFor those who use Apple Watch, the offline playback for Spotify feature was added recently.
