The following tutorial will show you How to Install xManager on Android mobile and tablet for Free Spotify Premium.
xManager is an app manager tool that allows users the ability to “patch” various applications and APKs to remove ads and more.
This is similar to the method we use for installing YouTube ReVanced, which is an ad-free YouTube application for Android devices.

Installing the xManager will allow you to download a premium, ad-free version of Spotify at no cost.
xManager is compatible with Android devices, including mobile and tablet.
In the guide below, we will install xManager for Spotify on an Android tablet called the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6.
However, these steps will also work on all other Android tablets and phones.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to installing the patch version of Spotify, we must uninstall the original Spotify app from our device. We provide step-by-step instructions below to do so.
Is xManager Safe?
Before I install this, I first want to scan the Android APK file with VirusTotal.
Here is the screenshot of the scan results.
VirusTotal did not find any suspicious files or malware within the xManager APK file.
However, this does not mean we shouldn’t protect ourselves when downloading content from this unverified app.
The best way to do this is with a VPN that will secure your identity and anonymity when using xManager or other applications.
