For BlackBerry Priv and later models (including BlackBerry KEYone, BlackBerry KEY2, BlackBerry Motion, and BlackBerry DTEK series), Spotify installation is as simple as on any Android phone.

Step 2: Click "Install" to download Spotify on your device, open the app, and log in to your Spotify account.

Part 3. How to Download and Install Spotify APK on BlackBerry 10

When installing Spotify on BlackBerry devices, it may be complicated in the older versions of BlackBerry phones and BlackBerry 10 phones. However, the BlackBerry phones starting with the later update 10.2.1 have the support of side loading by using APK files. It makes the installation of the Spotify application possible. The BlackBerry that supports APK installation includes the BlackBerry Z10, BlackBerry Q10, Q5, BlackBerry Z30, BlackBerry Passport, BlackBerry Classic, and BlackBerry Leap.

Follow the steps given below:

Step 1: First, download the APK file.

Step 2: On your Blackberry 10 device, navigate to Settings > Security & Privacy and switch Install from Unknown sources on. The option allows you to install applications not available in the official BlackBerry World store.

Step 3: After successfully downloading the APK file, open it to start installing the application. Simply follow the prompts on the screen to finish the setting up.

Step 4: After the installation, you can sign in to your Spotify or create an account and start streaming music right away.

Switch Install from Unknown Sources on

It's a real problem that BlackBerry 10 doesn't support the Google Play services that Spotify relies on. This can cause problems such as applications not working properly or missing certain features. To better use Spotify on Android phones, consider upgrading to BlackBerry devices designed for Android operating systems such as the BlackBerry Priv or DTEK series which provide full compatibility.
