Spotify unveiled an interface refresh this morning, rolling out first to iOS users. Quick note, as Android folk, we appreciate Spotify using iOS as the guinea pig platform. The less jank we have to deal with, the better.
Moving on, there aren’t too many changes, though, Spotify puts great emphasis on new actionable icons and an easier-to-use UI. The big icon change you’ll notice is a new Play/Shuffle icon. Spotify says, “Our new green ‘shuffle play’ icon reduces streaming to the click of one familiar button, which includes the shuffle icon.”
It's more visual art than an actual music video, and in the current apps you get to (if it doesn't start playing automatically) it by tapping on the album art. Spotify is finally working on a tab. Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. A link to the Web API endpoint providing full details of the album. Id: string: The Spotify ID for the album. Images: array of image objects: The cover art for the album in various sizes, widest first. Label: string: The label for the album. Name: string: The name of the album. In case of an album takedown, the value may be an empty string.
The below icon is what you’ll see instead of that massive “Shuffle Play” text button above playlists.

- These new tabs would include typical album art, “Canvas,” and an entirely new video section. “Canvas” is the Spotify feature that shows a brief video clip in place of album art. It’s not a full.
- In a recent update, Spotify added animated video backgrounds to certain albums on the app. The feature is called Canvas, and, in our opinion, it clutters up the Now Playing screen and makes it.
Another big, big change is the default to show album art in all views with exception to “Album” view. Spotify states that this will make it easier to navigate the app and find familiar songs. In addition, Spotify will highlight songs you’ve already “liked” by showing the heart icon next to the track name.
If you’re on Android, expect to see all of these changes down the road. For now, it’s just for iOS.
