Spotify ends Apple in-app payment for Premium subscribers, here’s why

Spotify and Apple have had a history of disputes and tensions, particularly regarding Apple’s App Store policies. Now, it has been seven years since Spotify has prohibited users to sign up for its Premium subscription through the Apple App Store.

According to a report by Variety, Spotify will no longer allow customers who previously subscribed to its streaming music service through the App Store to continue to pay using Apple’s platform. The audio streaming platform has started sending emails to users who pay using an App Store subscription to let them know that they’ll need to make changes to the payment method.
