How to use Spotify on the Apple Watch

To use Spotify on the Apple Watch, you must first open the app and, if you have not already done so, log in to Spotify. Once you have done this, you can swipe back and forth between two screens in the app. While one screen shows you the current playback and the shuffle options, the second screen is used to control the music playback. You can also control the volume by turning the Digital Crown directly on the Apple Watch.
