The Spotify app on Apple Watch at WWDC 2018

On the occasion of WWDC 2018 in June, Apple should present the Spotify app for Apple Watch: streaming music without the need for a phone.

Apple Watch may be about to get an official Spotify app, which is said to be revealed at WWDC 2018, scheduled for June.

According to an anonymous informant at MacRumors, Spotify web player will be present at the Apple event dedicated to developers just to announce the app dedicated to the series of smartwatch with the bitten apple. Just the new Spotify app should be taken by Apple as a prime example to demonstrate the development framework called StreamKit, which will allow Apple Watch models with cellular connectivity to receive push notifications and stream music from third-party apps without an associated iPhone .

The possibility of transmitting music directly to the wrist with the most famous music streaming service in the world could further increase the appeal that the clock with the bitten apple has already on the market. At this time, Apple Watch users have the ability to synchronize playlists offline or, if they have one of the Series 3 models, to stream Apple Music even if the wrist device is not connected to the phone. But Spotify has a significantly higher number of users: there were 70 million subscribers paid in February this year, while Apple Music had 36 million.

The landing of the Spotify app on Apple Watch could be a good strategy also for the music streaming service, which tries to further increase the number of users (and profits), increasingly indispensable in the light of the listing on the Stock Exchange. But, in any case, the WWDC that will start on June 4 in San José (California) will be an excellent opportunity to discover the news in software that Apple is preparing for developers and users. It is thought that the new features of push notifications will be introduced with watchOS 5.
