Spotify Launches Offline Backup – Bringing Users Another Way to Listen Offline

When the need for music is high and you find yourself offline, Spotify has you covered. Beginning today, we’re launching Offline Backup, bringing Premium users globally another way to keep listening to music offline, no downloads required. 

Nearly half of our Premium listeners globally have used Spotify offline to listen to their favourite audio. 

With Offline Backup, we’re giving users another way to access music offline without using any extra data or storage. Here’s how it works:

We take your queued and recently streamed tracks and create one easy-to-access playlist that is unique to you. 

Offline Backup includes tracks already stored on your device as part of your regular listening on Spotify (also known as cache). 

Tip: Looking for a certain vibe? Users have the ability to filter and sort songs within the playlist by artist, mood and even genre!

The playlist evolves as you continue to listen, so you’ll always have something new.

You can find more info on our blog, For the Record, and see HERE for imagery to include in your story. More details on how to find Offline Backup are included below. Please reach out with any questions!

How to find Offline Backup:

Offline Backup will appear automatically in the Home feed anytime you’re offline.

Make sure you’ve listened to more than five songs recently and have offline listening enabled. Find this under ‘Settings’ and then ‘Data Saving and offline’ or ‘Storage’ Look for the ‘Offline Listening toggle.

You can add Offline Backup to ‘Your Library’ for easy access at any time.

Can’t find Offline Backup? Make sure your Spotify app is updated to the latest version.
