Spotify is poised to release another refresh to its Home interface designed to give subscribers an even more personalized experience. The updated interface will be available worldwide on iOS and Android later this month.
“We are constantly working on ways to improve our user experience,” Spotify said in a blog post. “Through this latest update, we’ll implement several advances on the mobile home hub designed to make the sound you love easier and more intuitive.”
Here are the three most important changes to Spotify’s new home interface on iOS and Android:
- Travel back in time: Rediscover lost gems in your listening history with a new “Recently Played” destination, where users can jump back in time and browse up to three months of listening history. Premium and free users worldwide will be able to browse individual playlists and recently played playlists in addition to the playlists, albums and programs from which they were played.
- Skip to new and unfinished podcasts: Global Premium users can watch new and relevant podcast episodes within the Home hub. New deliveries will be marked with a blue dot, and deliveries you have already started will display a progress bar indicating how far you are in the delivery.
- Discover more music: Premium users worldwide will not miss a single track from artists they love. Now you see a new surface highlighted on top of the Home hub, dedicated to discovery-oriented recommendations that are personalized, timely and responsive to your liking.
The new changes to Spotify’s home screen come about a year after the streaming service made it easier to find your favorite playlists and podcasts. This was a useful update because it made it much easier to jump to content. This update builds on it by making your home screen an even more personalized experience.
Spotify has said that the refreshing home screen will be available for mobile devices this month, and since there are only a few days left in March, we’ll have to see it land soon.
