With support for standalone streaming, users can listen to Spotify music or podcasts via a Wi-Fi connection or over cellular, without needing to be tethered to their iPhone.
The lack of support for standalone streaming has been a long time sore subjectfor a core group of Spotify's customers. It's even more of an issue for those who want to leave their iPhone behind when they're exercising -- like when they're out for a run, for example -- as well as any other time when carrying around an iPhone could be cumbersome.
With standalone streaming, however, Spotify users can stream from their wrist directly to their Bluetooth headphones or AirPods.
In the app, the option is still flagged with a beta label for some users, however.
