Spotify Now Supports Siri on Apple Watch

spotify app iconSpotify now supports Siri voice commands on any Apple Watch running watchOS 6, as spotted by 9to5Mac.

With the latest version of the app, rolling out on the App Store, Apple Watch users can say "Hey Siri, play music on Spotify" or any other voice command with "on Spotify" to control Spotify playback without opening the app directly.

Spotify gained Siri support on iPhones and iPads as of iOS 13 after Apple opened up its SiriKit framework to third-party music, podcasts, audiobooks, and radio apps.

Is it able to stream music and save offline music playlist yet without an iPhone yet? As I own a Cellular S5, the ability of taking my Series 5 on its own and stream music without bringing the iPhone along was the last point to switch to Apple Music.
