Ever gone for a run only to realize your smartwatch doesn’t have your go-to playlist? Or opened your laptop to work offline, only to find your music library incomplete? Spotify is fixing those daily annoyances with a smart new update that gives you full control of your downloads—no matter where you are.

Remote downloads: one tap and you’re set ✨

Spotify’s latest Premium update brings a long-awaited feature: the ability to remotely trigger downloads of playlists, albums, or podcasts to any device linked to your account—from your phone. That means you can start a download on your laptop, tablet, or smartwatch without even being near it. Just choose the content, pick the target device, and the download begins as soon as that device is online.

But Spotify didn’t stop there. A revamped “Manage downloads” option now lets you see exactly what’s stored where, remove unnecessary files from afar, and avoid hitting the five-device offline storage limit. It’s a simple yet powerful way to keep your library streamlined without constantly switching devices.

Who gets it—and how to use it 💡

This feature is exclusive to Spotify Premium subscribers and is rolling out globally. If you don’t see it yet, hang tight—it should land on your app soon. Once available, using it is easy: open Spotify on your phone, find the content you want, tap “Download to other devices”, and pick where it should go. Syncing happens automatically in the background, no cables or proximity required.

A small feature, a big shift in experience

Remote downloading might seem like a minor update, but it signals a big shift toward a more effortless, intelligent listening experience. Say goodbye to last-minute sync scrambles and juggling between devices—your music now meets you where you are.
