NEW YORK (CONVERSEER) – Most of you have been asking how to get Spotify Premium for free forever. Well, you’re on the right page, as I will show you how to do it using the following steps.
As I had a hard time doing everything myself (and I hate condescending explanations), I hope I can simplify somebody else’s life. Important, if you don’t get the Spotify app from the Play Store and you download it from APKPure, etc, you might be flagged and get empty playlists, which was the origin of my problem.
Things you will need:
- Spotify original app downloaded from the Play Store
- Antisplit-M
- ReVanced Manager
Patience through installations and patching, especially if your phone is not very fast (I’m not going to include the links to Antisplit-M or ReVanced Manager here, but you can easily find them by Googling on your browser, as they are obviously not in the Play Store).
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE (assuming you don’t have anything installed yet)
Download the latest version of Spotify from the Play Store normally.
Download Antisplit-M and install it. Google “Antisplit-M” or “Antisplit-M GitHub” and look for the APK file download in the releases section (check for the latest version).
Download ReVanced Manager (just Google: revanced app and download the latest version). Install it.
Open Antisplit-M, select “from installed apps” look for Spotify in the list. Save the resulting app in a folder that you’ll find easily. For example the download folder. WAIT, it might take a while! The produced file will have the word antisplit at the end of the name.
Uninstall Spotify from the Play Store.
Open Revanced Manager. Go to Patcher, select an app, and tap the button “Storage” bottom right to be sure you’re selecting the right file you just produced with Antisplit-M (should be something like com.spotify etc in the name). Tap on Patch.
Wait (can take some time don’t rush) and when it’s finished, click on install. It will prompt you to disable automatic updates, we will do it later.
Now that it is installed, go to the Play Store. Look for Spotify and it should appear as installed. Tap on the name of the app (NOT on the open button), it will open the screen where you can review the app, etc Tap on the three dots up right and uncheck the box for “Automatic Updates“.
Now you’re ready to enjoy your playlists.

BONUS SECTION – Soundcloud Revanced. If nothing worked for you, or if this gets broken again my official alternative is Soundcloud (patched exactly with the same method – follow the guide through, just with the Soundcloud app).
I’ve tried it and it has everything: famous and non-famous artists, music podcasts, sessions, an amazingly good music discovery section and you can also download/listen offline. To migrate playlists, I used Soundiiz, and it works fine.
