    Spotify Update Approved: US Users Can Buy Audiobooks

    Apple Approves Spotify Audiobook Purchases for US Users

    Great news for audiobook lovers! Apple has approved a Spotify update that allows US users to purchase audiobooks directly within the app. This marks a significant shift, as previously, Spotify users had to navigate outside the app to make such purchases.

    What This Means for Spotify Users

    This update streamlines the audiobook buying process. US users can now browse Spotify’s extensive audiobook catalog and complete their purchases without leaving the application. This enhances user experience and makes Spotify a more comprehensive audio platform.

    Apple’s Approval: A Change in Policy?

    Apple’s approval of this feature signals a possible change in their app store policies. Previously, Apple required in-app purchases to go through their own payment system, which gave them a commission. By allowing Spotify to handle audiobook purchases directly, Apple may be adopting a more flexible approach. Learn more about Apple’s App Store Policy.

    How It Works

    The updated Spotify app includes a dedicated audiobook section where users can:

    • Browse a wide selection of audiobooks across various genres.
    • Listen to previews before making a purchase.
    • Complete the purchase directly within the app using their preferred payment method.
    • Access their purchased audiobooks in their Spotify library.

    Benefits of the Update

    This update brings several key benefits:

    • Convenience: Users can now buy and listen to audiobooks in one place.
    • Seamless experience: No need to switch between apps for purchasing.
    • Wider selection: Access to Spotify’s growing audiobook library.
