Spotify introduces Running Mode for iOS Premium users

Apple has announced that its new Running Mode feature will soon be available to Premium subscribers on iOS devices, but only in a limited number of countries. The update is part of the company’s ongoing effort to enhance its fitness ecosystem for users who have opted into the paid tier of its health and activity services.

Running Mode is designed to provide real‑time coaching, route optimization and performance metrics tailored for runners. The feature will be rolled out to Premium users on iOS in select markets, with availability dates and country lists to be confirmed in the coming weeks. Users who are not in the eligible regions will not see the option until the feature expands globally. The company has stated that the rollout will begin with a pilot program to ensure stability and performance before a wider release.
