This is referring specifically to desktop Safari. Spotify already has an iOS app.
- ricardobeat 9y agoThey also have a desktop app, so same reasoning applies.
- durango 9y agoNot really, mobile users tend to use apps more so than a browser for "things." Whereas a desktop user is the complete opposite and would most likely favor just opening a tab versus downloading an entire app.
- ad133 9y agoFrom what I gather, it's not the same case here. Safari is now unsupported because Spotify deprecated their Flash website in favour of HTML5 + Widevine. Safari doesn't support Widevine, so can't use the new player. However, Safari on iOS never supported Flash so the old version of the Spotify player wouldn't have worked either.
