However, the iPod Touch 7th generation, which was officially discontinued by Apple on May 28, 2019, supports up to iOS 12.5.5. So you can’t install Spotify on it and previous generations. 

The current seventh-generation iPod touch was introduced in 2019 and discontinued on May 10, 2022. Apple says iPod touch will be available while supplies last. In addition to this being the end of the iPod touch as a product, this also marks the end of the “iPod” brand altogether.
