How to Connect Spotify to Fitbit?
Here’s how to connect your Spotify to Fitbit:
- Open the Fitbit mobile app and click on your avatar icon.
- Click on the device you want to download Spotify onto.
- Select Apps.
- Search for the Spotify app in the Fitbit app section.
- Press install.
- That’s it! Enjoy streaming your favorite music while working out.
When you install the Spotify app, Fitbit will ask for your permission to run the app in the background. Make sure it’s connected to the internet.
Which Fitbit Models Support Spotify?
Before you begin, make sure that your Fitbit device is compatible with the Spotify app. Currently, it supports playback on Versa, Versa Lite, Versa 2, and Ionic.
Unfortunately, if you don’t have any of these smartwatches, you are out of luck. Moreover, you need a Spotify Premium account to be able to stream music on Fitbit. With your regular Spotify account, you won’t be able to stream songs because of ads.
Some Limitations
Another thing you need to know is that Fitbit does not currently support offline playback, so you need to be connected to the internet.
As Fitbit does not have built-in speakers, in order to play music, you will need to connect to external speakers.
With your Fitbit app, you can shuffle songs, skip, rewind, or browse playlists. You cannot search for songs, albums or artists on the smartwatch app itself. However, you can do so on your Fitbit app via smartphone.
Can I Play Spotify Offline on Fitbit?
As mentioned above, Fitbit does not support Spotify offline, so you cannot play songs if you are away from your phone. Moreover, most Fitbit models also lack the ability to store music in storage. Only Fitbit Versa, Versa 2 and Ionic have 2.5 GB music storage.
To listen to songs offline, we recommend downloading them with the help of some third party music downloader.
