Spotify launches 'biggest evolution yet' on iOS and Android

At its Stream On event today, Spotify showed off a major overhaul rolling out to its iOS and Android apps. The two largest components include video and audio previews for music, podcasts, and audiobooks in the homepage feed, and a new video feed for discovery in search.

The company calls the major UI overhaul "a new, dynamic mobile interface designed to dig deeper to discover more meaningful connections between artists and fans" and that it's "our best update yet" The greatest progress”.

Spotify says that "the next generation of listeners is hungry for better ways to sample audio before becoming fully immersed," which is why it's moving toward a "more active experience" with "an all-new interactive design."

This is how Spotify describes the new mobile Home feed and search experience:

• Music, Podcasts, and Shows on Home Page and Audiobook Previews: Just click on the Music, Podcasts & Shows, or Audiobooks feed to browse visual and audio playlists, albums, podcast episodes, and audiobooks tailored just for you Preview. Then, click Save or Share to drill down to the artist or podcast page to start playing from the beginning, or pick up where the preview ended.
• For new feeds discovered in search: Scroll up or down to browse short Canvas snippets of tracks from some of your favorite genres. Then easily save the song to a playlist, follow the artist, or share it with friends—all in one place. You can also explore related genres using hashtags in your feed to easily discover new favorites. You can even sample tracks from some of your favorite playlists like Discover Weekly, Release Radar, New Music Friday, and RapCaviar.

After you preview your content with the new design, you can:

• Save, download, or share with just one tap: Just tap Press the plus ( ) icon to save your recommendations to Your Episodes or Your Library. Then, download or queue it by clicking the three dots at the bottom of the preview.
• Play from the beginning: Press play to start listening to a track, album, playlist, or episode from the beginning. For podcasts, click Continue Listening to play the rest of the preview from the beginning.
• Explore deeper: Clicking on a recommendation will take you to a playlist, album, or single to explore more related audio.

As usual, Spotify didn’t announce a hard launch date for the UI overhaul, but said it’s “beginning to roll out to premium and free users globally on iOS and Android.” However, it also shared that the rollout will be "in the coming weeks and months."
