So you wanna ditch the Ads, Buddy? How to snag Spotify Premium on your iPhone (without Apple taking a bite)
Let's face it, those Spotify ads can be as unwelcome as a surprise sock puppet show during a business meeting. You're just vibing to your workout playlist, then BAM! Uncle Rico's Hair Plugs is here to remind you of your rapidly receding hairline (rude). Fear not, music lover, because upgrading to Spotify Premium is easier than explaining to your grandma why you listen to polka music ironically.
Here's the thing: Apple likes to take a cut of in-app purchases, which is why you can't subscribe to Premium directly through the iPhone app. But don't worry, we're gonna outsmart those pesky app store fees with a little detour.
Buckle up, Buttercup: Here's the Super Secret (not really) Plan
Grab your phone and unleash the power of Google: Head over to the Spotify website (https://www.spotify.com/in-en/premium/) in your trusty Safari browser.
Login or Sign Up: Whether you're a Spotify veteran or a music newbie, you'll need to log in with your existing account or create a new one.
Let the Upgrading Commence!: See that hamburger menu (those three horizontal lines) in the top right corner? Give it a tap, and a magical menu will appear. Look for the option that says "Premium" or "Upgrade" (because honestly, who wants to stay free when there's ad-free goodness waiting?).
Choose Your Fighter (Subscription Plan): Spotify offers a variety of subscription plans, so pick the one that best suits your music addiction (and budget). There's the single warrior plan, the family plan for all your freeloading relatives, and even a student discount for those braving the textbooks.
Payment Time! Enter your credit card information. Don't worry, Spotify uses top-notch security so your info is safe (safer than your embarrassing childhood dance moves on that embarrassing home video).
Victory Lap (Optional): High five yourself because you just outsmarted the app store and unlocked a world of uninterrupted music. Go forth and listen freely, you magnificent music maestro!
