Several optimizations and new features have been added to Apple WatchOS 9. Unfortunately, this series of Apple watches contains some bugs that significantly degrade the user experience. Spotify integration with Apple WatchOS 9 is one of the main reasons. It has been reported that Spotify is not streaming properly in Apple WatchOS 9. Now let’s discuss this issue in more detail.

Apple WatchOS 9 does not support Spotify streaming. The Spotify team receives emails from users reporting that Spotify stops playing music after the first play. It is affecting users on both cellular and Wi-Fi connections. However, Streaming offline music through Spotify has not resulted in this issue.

Apple is working on this bug and, for now, suggests not upgrading to Apple WatchOS 9 until it is resolved. The company also suggests downloading the songs directly from Spotify and listening offline until the problem is fixed.
