Remember that time you were belting out your favorite power ballad in the shower, only to be rudely interrupted by a commercial for, like, denture adhesive? Yeah, Premium solves that.
Let's ditch the ads, shall we? And get our groove on interruption-free. The first step? Make sure you are logged out of your Spotify account.
First things first: Apple is the boss of your subscription
This is for folks who signed up for Spotify Premium through the App Store. Basically, Apple is your subscription overlord. They hold the keys (or rather, the payment info).
If you signed up directly through Spotify's website, this isn't the article for you. You can skip this one.
Cancel if you have a Current Subscription
Before you can use the magic of Apple Pay directly, you might need to cancel your existing Spotify Premium subscription. Do this through the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
Navigate to your subscriptions (usually under your profile in the App Store). Find Spotify and tap that cancel subscription button!
Don't worry, it won't immediately cut you off from your tunes. You'll still have Premium until the end of your current billing cycle.
Now, the Fun Part: Re-subscribing with Apple Pay
Once your current subscription has run its course, it's time to unleash the power of Apple Pay! Make sure that Apple Pay is set up correctly.
This usually involves adding a credit or debit card to your Apple Wallet. You've probably already done this if you’re a regular at the coffee shop!
Open the Spotify app on your iPhone or iPad. Go to your account settings.
Finding the Premium Upgrade
Look for the option to "Go Premium" or "Upgrade." It's usually pretty prominent, because, well, Spotify wants your money. They give you all those tunes, after all!
You'll likely see a few different Premium plans. Individual, Family, Student… pick the one that best suits your listening habits (and your budget).
Now, prepare for the magic. Choose your plan and tap the button to subscribe! When prompted, your Apple Pay information should automatically appear.
The Sweet, Sweet Sound of Seamless Payment
That fingerprint sensor or facial recognition comes in handy. Scan that fingerprint or use your face to authorize the payment.
It's like saying "abracadabra" but with slightly more advanced technology. And voila! You're officially paying for Spotify Premium with Apple Pay!
No more frantic searches for your wallet or typing in long credit card numbers. Just pure, unadulterated, ad-free music.
Troubleshooting Tip: Update Everything!
Sometimes things don't go according to plan. If you're having trouble, make sure your iPhone or iPad is running the latest version of iOS.
Also, ensure you've updated the Spotify app itself. Outdated software can be a real buzzkill.
If problems persist, reach out to Apple Support or Spotify's help center. They're the experts, after all.
Enjoy the Ad-Free Life
Congratulations! You've successfully navigated the world of subscriptions and payment methods. You can now listen to all your favorite music without those pesky interruptions.
Go forth and enjoy the sweet, sweet sound of uninterrupted tunes! Dance like nobody is watching, even though your neighbors probably are.
Happy Listening!
