Abstract
The spin of the black hole is one of the deterministic qualities for itself, providing us with the knowledge of its birth and evolution. In this review, I described two kinds of the spin measurements, respectively based upon electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves, and discuss the meaning for the black hole spin evolution indicated by the spin results measured by these methods. We find that for X-ray binaries, the spin results are much bigger than those results for natal spin, and for binary black holes the spin result are much smaller than those in X-ray binaries, which may be resulted from their different evolutions. For binary black holes detected through gravitational waves, formation channels of the binary systems are essential for interpreting spin results in these binary systems.
