Part 1. How to Connect Spotify to Galaxy Buds
Pairing Galaxy Buds with Your Device
Before you can start enjoying Spotify on your Galaxy Buds, you need to pair them with your smartphone. Here’s how you can do it:
- For Android Users: Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone. Place your Galaxy Buds in their charging case and open the lid to initiate pairing mode. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Galaxy Wearable app to complete the pairing process.
- For iOS Users: Connect your Galaxy Buds directly through Bluetooth settings since the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds2, Galaxy Buds2 Pro, and Galaxy Buds Pro are not compatible with the iOS Buds app.
Streaming Spotify on Galaxy Buds
One of the most convenient features of the Galaxy Buds is the touch control functionality, which allows you to manage your music playback effortlessly. In this part, we will talk about how to use and customize these touch controls.
The Galaxy Buds come pre-configured with intuitive touch controls that make managing playback a breeze:
- Single Tap: Play/Pause your current track. This is handy when you need to quickly stop your music to have a conversation or pay attention to your surroundings.
- Double Tap: Skip to the next track. Perfect for moving forward in your playlist without needing to take out your phone.
- Triple Tap: Go back to the previous track. Useful for replaying a favorite song or podcast segment.
- Touch and Hold: This action can be customized to perform various functions such as adjusting the volume, activating your voice assistant (like Bixby or Google Assistant), or launching Spotify directly (on supported models like Galaxy Buds2 Pro).
