Cannot install Spotify on my Apple watch SE

Spotify freezes on my watch for several days so I tried troubleshooting, including a watch reset and uninstalling. I’m trying to re-install Spotify but errors “unable to download… problem with a previous purchase”.


i have Premium Duo with my husband. Spotify on my iPhone works without problem.

Hi jn_divi,


The error that you describe regarding a problem with a previous purchase may be resolved by trying the suggestions here:


If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support


Once you've addressed the billing issue, if you're still having trouble after reinstalling the Spotify app, we'd suggest updating your iPhone and Apple Watch software:


Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If you have issues still after updating, we'd suggest contacting the app developer for Spotify for assistance:

Cheers!
