- 90 million users could take advantage of these options
We have a new version of Spotify And just so you know: it's more efficient than the previous one. The company of Swedish origin has just brought out a new edition of its mobile application, which comes to solve one of the biggest problems that users are concerned about: data consumption. And it is that leaving the music playing when you are away from home and without WiFi is a real drain.
Now the reduction that Spotify has just announced in data consumption is no more and no less than 75% less. Which will certainly be worth trying. Especially since we are talking about the free modality of Spotify.
Spotify announces a more efficient application
Spotify held an event in New York City today to announce a few exciting news. The most significant is that its mobile application will allow users to enjoy their most favorite music for free. In this way, even if they are not subscribed to the payment method, they will have the opportunity to enjoy the music wherever they are.

Be careful, keep in mind that users who have a free subscription will not be able to enjoy the entire music catalog of Spotify . They will have access, of course, to the most popular playlists, which are about fifteen.
There is also the famous Discover Weekly list, with the most important weekly discoveries and the most listened to songs by most users. This guarantees, at least, the availability of the main hits of the moment.
