Spotify Update Allows iPhone Users to Purchase Audiobooks Directly in App
Spotify announced on Monday that Apple has approved a new app update, allowing iPhone users in the U.S. to purchase individual audiobooks directly within the app. Users can also view audiobook prices and easily buy additional listening hours beyond the initial 15 hours.
Audiobook Purchases Back on Spotify iOS App
The ability to buy audiobooks directly within the iOS app and see pricing will be a nice improvement for users who previously had to buy audiobooks on the web before they could access them within the app. Spotify removed audiobook purchases back in 2022 due to Apple’s strict rules around in-app purchases. Now, users can purchase an audiobook with just a few taps.
Convenience for iPhone Users in Purchasing Listening Hours
Additionally, iPhone users were previously required to visit the web to purchase more listening hours, referred to as “top-ups.” With the update, they can now make these purchases directly within the app. Each top-up costs $13 for 10 additional hours.
