Spotify is probably the most feature-rich music app in a seemingly crowded market. However, there is one small feature that is still missing from the iOS app and that is not being able to download a particular song. There’s no point in downloading an entire album or playlist when only a few selected songs appeal to your musical taste, right? I discovered a relatively easy workaround to download a single song in Spotify on iPhone or iPad, until the music streaming app came up with a better solution to fix this annoying hurdle. And I’m sure you’ll find this hack pretty easy too. So let’s try!
How to Download a Single Song on Spotify on iPhone or iPad
Note that this trick only works on Spotify premium. So make sure you have the paid version of the music streaming app.
1. Start Spotify app on your iPhone or iPad. Then search for the song you want to download to your device.
2. Tap now. three points (placed horizontally) to the far right of the song.
3. Next, a menu will appear. choose “Add to playlist”.
4th place, “New Playlist” and give it an appropriate name.
5th place, “download” Press the button on the playlist to download the song.
That is all! Now, wait for a while until the song is downloaded to your device. You can repeat the same process to download more Spotify songs individually to your iOS device.
What I personally do is create a separate custom playlist to download single songs. You can do this so you don’t have to create a new playlist every time you want to download a particular song. Whenever I come across a song I like and want to keep offline, I add it to that particular playlist and it downloads within minutes.

But that’s what it is, I guess. Anyway, let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comments section below.
