Android Wear 2.0 arrived with the supposed promise of allowing applications to run independently of the terminal to which it is connected, but that was never really the case, although to a large extent, since the Internet connection has to be obtained somehow and the only one available is through the smartphone to which it is connected.
A few weeks ago, Spotify joined the trend of releasing Lite versions of its apps —lightweight versions that take up very little space and lose some features in the adaptation. Today we're talking about the Lite version of Spotify for Wear OS, an app that wasn't released by Spotify, but by an XDA Forums user named moneytoo.
This version is specifically designed for use on Wear OS devices. The app is virtually identical to the Lite version, but scaled down, with a smaller interface and buttons that no longer fill the entire screen. XDA Forums user moneytoo claims to have developed a script that allows these changes to be applied to any APK, which sounds promising.
While it's true that this adaptation means we lose some information along the way, especially regarding titles, it's the only option available today. If you were waiting for Spotify to release it, you'll have to keep waiting, because the Swedish company has no plans to release a version for Wear OS or watchOS . This is better than nothing.
If you have a Wear OS device, you can download this app now via the link at the end of this article. To use it, your smartphone must be running Android 4.1. According to the developer, this unofficial Lite version of Spotify works on both Wear OS devices and devices running the previous version of Android Wear.
