Part 1. Can't Find Spotify App on Samsung Smart TV?

Spotify expanded its partnership with Samsung in 2022. Samsung and Spotify were working together on a number of cross-platform integrations involving Samsung phones, earbuds, watches, TVs and more. One of the questions that users encounter that circulating online is some seem to can’t play Spotify on Samsung TV because they can't find the Spotify app.

So, what’s the reason for this? Actually, Spotify requires a specific operating system which is the Tizen version 2.3 and above, therefore, if your Samsung TV doesn’t have this os then you really can’t find Spotify in it. Moreover, this version is available on Samsung TVs that are manufactured from 2015 onwards. In 2022, Spotify announced a continuation of its pre-install agreement, which will see anyone who purchases a 2022 Samsung Smart TV or Samsung Galaxy phone receiving the Spotify app already installed on the device.

How to Fix Spotify App Not Working on Samsung Smart TV?

Like what we had discussed earlier, one reason could be that your Samsung smart TV’s OS or model doesn’t support the Spotify app. If so, perhaps you can try updating your Samsung TV and reinstall the Spotify app. I included here ways how to update your Samsung smart TV.

1. Using the Internet that is connected to Your Samsung TV

If you have an internet connection on your Samsung TV, then you can set it automatically to update your smart TV.

  • Open the Settings menu on your TV.
  • Select Support > Software Update.

Samsung TV Software Update

  • The current version of your TV software will be displayed. If there is an update available for your TV, tap Update Now.

Update Samsung TV Software

  • Please wait while the TV checks for any available updates.
  • To finish, select OK.

2. Using Your USB

First, you have to visit Samsung Download Center, then select the Product type, or just enter the model number to be more specific. Next, download the firmware file of your TV on the support page. Once the download is completed, copy it on your USB (Note: it shouldn’t be inside any folder because Samsung TV might not read it) then connect it to your TV. Next, with the use of your remote controller, go to settings, then select Support, after that click Update Now, and then click Yes, it will automatically look for the update.

Finally, when you already updated your Samsung TV you can try to reinstall the Spotify app and see if you can download it.

Is Spotify Free on Samsung TV?

Absolutely! Previously the Spotify app on TV is only limited to premium users, but now, a free user can also access it for those who have Samsung TV produced in the year 2015 or above. However, it is expected that free users may encounter lots of ads and actions can be limited unlike with premium users.
