Spotify is launching a new home screen design, which should make it easier to find what you’re looking for from the home hub.
The Spotify home screen on my mobile has always seemed a bit chaotic, with a bunch of “for you” playlists mixed with everything the algorithm thinks I want to hear. The new Spotify homepage for iOS and Android, which the company said will be launched globally “this month”, should make the discovery process easier.
The main feature of these new features is the ability to “travel back in time” and see your recent listening history of up to three months. Both free and premium users will find the Listening History button in the upper right corner of the home screen next to the gearbox. From this menu, you’ll be able to see not only what you’re listening to, but also from where, such as a podcast show or a specific playlist.
The main menu will also feature new and recently played podcasts – a feature that will no doubt help Spotify improve its capacity. push big podcast. Things you’ve already listened to will appear in this menu with a bar indicating how far away you are, while a blue dot will indicate a suggested podcast that Spotify recommends you check out. The new home hub will also display relevant music recommendations, which should help you discover music beyond the Discover Weekly playlist.
Being a person who rarely has an idea of what I want to hear, I can definitely appreciate the discovery process. But being able to see what I listened to and enjoyed without having to do any serious detective work is also a welcome addition.
