Top 3 Ways to Save Data While Using Spotify AppÂ
Here are the top 3 ways you can try out to save your data while using the Spotify app. Along with the ways we have also mentioned how to enable them.Â
1. Download the music
This is the first way you can try out. You find plenty of songs on Spotify and obviously you have some favourite ones among them. Then without streaming live on the app you can just download the songs you want to listen to again and again. The only drawback with this feature is it is applicable only to premium subscribers.Â
Also, it’s not possible to download a single song on Spotify. What you can do is… just like the songs you like and all these songs will appear in the liked songs playlist. Now you can download the whole playlist which has the songs you liked. After downloading the songs you like you no need to use any data while listening to them.
How to Download the playlists? Well, it’s very simple. Open the Spotify app and click on the playlist. Then you will find a download option. To download the playlist, click on it.
2. Activate Data Saver
Data saver is the feature which is available on both the premium and free versions of Spotify. This feature saves much of your data by altering the audio quality. You can try out this method as it is easily accessible. But how to activate the data saver? Tense not! Here are the steps using which you can activate the data saver.
Step-1: Open Settings on SpotifyÂ
Firstly, open Spotify on your device. When you open the app in the homepage you will find the settings icon. The settings icon is present on the top right corner. Click on it.
Step-2: Click on Data Saver Option
Now, when you open the settings menu you will find many options. Among all you need to select the data saver option. Swipe right on the swipe present beside the data saver option which means you have activated the data saver.Â
In case, you listen to podcasts as well, then do the same with Audio-only podcast feature which is present just below the data saver.
3. Adjust the Audio Quality Manually
If you think the data saver option is not sufficient to save the data then you can hire this method. As we know, a high resolution video eats up more data compared to the low resolution video in the same way high audio quality consumes large data than low quality audio. Hence, reducing its quality can save a little data.
