Redesigned Home Screen Organizes Spotify Content for Easier Navigation
Freshened Article:
Hop aboard the music discovery train with Spotify's revamped home screen design! Say goodbye to the jumble on your home hub and find what tickles your auditory fancy with ease.
In my humble opinion, Spotify's mobile home screen has long felt like a whirlwind of "for you" playlists, courtesy of the ever-eager algorithm. But fret not, for the updated Spotify home page, winging its way to iOS and Android devices this very month, will put an end to this chaos.
One of the marquee features in this new look is the ability to journey through time and peruse your listening history for the past three months. Both free and premium users can access this time traveler by looking for the listening history button nestled in the upper-righthand corner of their home screen, right beside the trusty settings gear. From this treasure trove, you'll uncover not just the tunes that have captured your ear but where they've come from, be it a podcast episode or a personal playlist.
The new and improved home hub shall also beam forth fresh and recently savored podcasts, a boon for Spotify as it embarks on its grand podcast offensive. Past listens will pop up in this section, complete with a progress bar, while a blue dot will bless a recommended poddy treat Spotify thinks you might fancy. And of course, our amiable friend Music makes an appearance too, cropping up with suggestions to expand your musical horizons beyond your Discover Weekly playlist.
As someone who can't seem to decide what music they're craving, I welcome this discovery process with open arms. Yet, the ability to revisit my audio past without resorting to Sherlock Holmes-style detective work is an added joy.
