Keep Your Data In Check



Listening to music on Spotify — much like spending time watching Instagram Stories — uses up a lot of data. This won't matter if you have an unlimited data plan, but for anyone with a fixed amount of data per month, you know the pain of getting a monthly bill with extra charges for going over that allowance.



In the new free version, you'll see an option to opt-in to a data saver mode within Settings. When you turn data saver on, Spotify will cache, or store, music on your phone in advance, something the company says will save up to 75% of your mobile data while streaming. The only downside here is that it will take up some space, but we'd take less space over extra data charges any day.
