Part 3. How to Play Spotify on BlackBerry 10 Phones

For users with a BlackBerry Passport, Classic, or other BB10 device, the official BlackBerry World app store no longer has Spotify. Instead, you must use the system's ability to run Android apps through a process called "sideloading." This involves manually installing the app using its Android Application Package (APK) file.

This works because BB10 includes a runtime environment for Android apps. However, it's based on an old version of Android (specifically Android 4.3), so you must find an older version of the Spotify app that is still compatible. Then, let's see how to sideload the Spotify APK on your BlackBerry and listen to music.

Step 1. Download the Spotify installer file from a a reputable APK repository like APKMirror or APKPure online. Do not download from untrusted websites.

Step 2. Open the "File Manager" app on your BlackBerry and navigate to your "Misc" > "Android" folder.
