How to Enable Offline Mode in Spotify on an iPhone 11

April 8, 2020 By Matt Jacobs

  • Going into Offline Mode in Spotify on your iPhone will stop the Spotify app from using cellular data, but it won’t stop other apps. You can enable Airplane Mode to accomplish that.
  • Once you are in Offline Mode, you can only listen to content that you have already downloaded. You can download a playlist by selecting it from your library, opening the playlist’s menu, then tapping the download button.
  • Spotify will periodically need to check with the Spotify servers to ensure that your subscription is still active. However, this only needs to occur every 30 days, so you simply need to exit Offline Moder at least once every 3 days.
  1. Open the Spotify app.
  2. Select the Home tab.
  3. Touch the gear icon at the top-right.
  4. Select the Playback option.
  5. Tap the button to the right of Offline to enable it.

The Spotify streaming service, which you can access through the Spotify app on your iPhone, includes an Offline Mode for Premium subscribers.

Spotify’s Offline Mode allows you to download playlists directly to your iPhone so that you can listen to that content even when you don’t have an Internet connection.

You can manually activate Offline Mode in the Spotify iPhone app, although the means for doing so is not immediately obvious.

Our guide below will show you how to enable Offline Mode in Spotify on your iPhone.
