On Samsung Android

  • Download and open Galaxy Apps on your Phone
  • Search for Tidal, then install the Tidal Wearable app.
  • Open the app on your Samsung Wearable.

In the app, a “Main Menu” screen will be the jump-off point for users to access their music collection. Within that is an “Explore” section for serving up editorial content and searching through Tidal’s catalog and playlists. The “My Collection” screen shows users their favorite content. Users will be able to download content to revisit when offline, and Tidal is highlighting this in combination with its workout playlists to appeal to fitness-minded Samsung Wearable owners.

Samsung has announced a long-term partnership with Spotify which sees the app included as part of the setup experience on Samsung devices. There are also plans for Spotify and Samsung accounts to eventually link for smart home integration with Samsung’s SmartThings app.

The Tidal app is now available on all current-generation Samsung Wearable devices and Samsung Smart TVs that are 2017 models or newer and more integrations with wearables to come.

There are some benefits to using Tidal on a Samsung wearable device. If you sign up to Tidal on a Samsung wearable, you’ll get access to a Tidal three-month trial or you can continue the experience on your Samsung TV, if you have one.

  • Also Go to tidal.comon your computer, phone or similar.
  • Log in if you are an existing member, or sign up to Tidal
  • Enter the code displayed on your Samsung Wearable to link it to your account and begin streaming.

It’s likely the Apple Watch will be among the next group of wearables to get Tidal support considering that the Apple Watch is by far the more popular wearable on the planet. It’s likely Google’s Wear OS will also get support — despite the fact that it may have faced some hurdles, it’s still one of the top three wearable platforms out there.
