Pandora just caught up with the competition with an update to its Apple Watch app, letting you stream directly to your wrist without the need for an iPhone.

This is the first non-Apple app to do this on the Apple Watch; Apple Music and Podcasts can use a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, but Spotify and Deezer still require the iPhone for their Apple Watch apps to work. As Engadget notes, YouTube Music and Tidal don’t even have Apple Watch apps.

To make sure you have the latest update, go to the Apple Watch App Store and search for Pandora. Download the latest version if you don't have it on your Apple Watch, or tap Update if you do have it and it hasn't been updated yet.

You’ll see a new interface that lets you search or tap your playlists and podcasts. You can then choose any song you like (with a Premium account) or play from your playlist, no iPhone required.
