Spotify has introduced a new feature called Offline Backup for its Premium subscribers, allowing users to stream their favorite tracks without internet connectivity. This innovative solution utilizes songs already cached on users' devices, eliminating the need for intentional downloads and saving storage space.
Offline Backup works by creating a readily available playlist from tracks that users have recently streamed. This feature addresses two major issues: the lack of internet access during activities like flying or hiking, and the storage constraints faced by users who download multiple playlists.
After successful testing and positive feedback, Offline Backup is now available for iPhone and Android users globally, as well as on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Users simply need to update their Spotify app and ensure they have a Premium subscription. The feature activates automatically after listening to at least five songs with Offline Listening enabled in the app's settings.
This development not only enhances user experience by providing uninterrupted music access but also showcases Spotify's commitment to innovating within the streaming space.
