How to Make a Playlist on Mobile

While you can make playlists on both PC and mobile, the mobile app is the easiest for making your playlist no matter where you are. It also provides all the same options for customization as the desktop version. So, here’s how to get started with your playlist on the Spotify app.
You’ve now created a playlist, and can begin adding songs to it. Tap on the Add Songs button to start doing this by searching for songs you want and tapping the plus icon next to them. You can also add songs by going to the Browse tab and searching for a song there, tapping on the ellipses next to it and then Add to Playlist in the menu. Then select the playlist you just created.
Another way to add music is from a song you’re currently playing. Tap on the banner at the bottom of the page which shows the song you’re listening to, then tap on the ellipses in the top right. Then select Add to playlist and choose your created playlist. If you want to customize your playlist, such as adding a description or photo, at the top of the playlist you can select the ellipses icon and then tap on Edit. From here, you can change the cover image, edit the description, and arrange or delete songs. Tap Save in the top right once you’re done.

Download to Listen Offline

There are many instances you may want to have your playlist available even when you can’t access the internet or data. To download a playlist for offline listening, you’ll need to do it in advance on Wi-Fi connection.
