Music streaming service Spotify has been preparing to provide a stable service even in areas where the internet environment is poor and most of the mid-range smartphones are occupied. And on July 9 (local time), Spotify Lite started providing an official Android app.
Spotify Lite targets development regions such as Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and countries such as Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines and India. To be precise, Spotify Lite offers include Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, 36 countries including Egypt, Algeria, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Oman Jordan, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, South Africa, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and India.
In addition, the Spotify Lite app that supports Android 4.3 or higher is functionally light and has only about 10MB of installed capacity. Basic functions such as artist and song name search functions, local storage, sharing, and playlist functions were also suppressed as much as possible.
Spotify premium accounts are also available for free users and are available under the terms of the contract. For people whose local or home network environment changes drastically, you can install a regular Spotify app and use it by switching according to the environment.
Spotify Lite can also set an upper limit on the amount of data consumed, even for people who are not on an unlimited plan. Using the function, you can alert the user when the limit is reached.
This app does not provide an iOS version. Anyone who can buy an iPhone thinks that a regular Spotify app is enough. Providing the Spotify Lite program can contribute to a larger number of users for Spotify. This is because you can listen to your favorite music wherever you go in any country or region, regardless of the network environment. Related information can be found here .
