Obviously, in order to use standalone listening you will either need a cellular Apple Watch, or have your watch connected to a WiFi network to stream the music. The feature is currently in beta, and is rolling out to some users already so you can check whether you have received the feature yet. In a statement to TechCrunch, Spotify has confirmed that the standalone streaming feature is rolling out now. “We’re focused on developing experiences that enable users to listen to Spotify wherever and whenever they want – regardless of the device or platform. After an initial testing period, we are now rolling out streaming capabilities for Spotify on the Apple Watch” said a Spotify spokesperson. Apart from Apple Music, Spotify and Pandora are the only music streaming services that now support standalone streaming on watchOS. Other services, like YouTube Music still lag far behind in terms of features.
