This feature is super good for users who are out of coverage. It’s been rolled out worldwide and it’s only available for premium users that are using the Spotify app.

How Spotify’s Offline Backup works
Let’s view it from this side; imagine you get on a plane before you remember that you did not download your favorite playlist. In this case, you don’t need to panic because Spotify’s Offline Backup got you covered.
In addition to offline music backups, the feature also helps save data. The Spotify’s offline backup works by taking your queued and recently streamed tracks and creates one easy-to-access playlist that is unique to you.
In other words, Spotify can use music that’s already saved on your device (like songs you’ve listened to, downloaded or stored) and mix them into your regular playlists. This way, you can still listen to them as part of your Spotify experience.
You can organize your playlists by things like artist, mood, or genre, making it easier to find the kind of music you're in the mood for. Plus, the Offline Backup feature keeps updating based on what you listen to, so you'll always have fresh music to enjoy, even without an internet connection.
How to Use the Spotify’s Offline Backup
The offline backup will automatically appear on your Spotify’s app home screen whenever you’re offline or out of internet connection coverage.
However, for this feature to work perfectly when you’re offline, make sure that you've completely listened to minimum five songs and you’ve enabled the offline listening mode on your Spotify account.
To enable offline listening on Spotify, go-to “Settings” >> “Data Savings” >> “Offline” or “Storage” and toggle ON the offline streaming option.
