Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on October 3, 2022) follows:

Spotify recently changed the Home page design on the Android and iOS app that allows users to expand into their recommendations.

The new Home screen of Spotify’s mobile app now has two sections namely ‘Music’ and ‘Podcast & Shows’. The update also adds new buttons to quickly share, like, and play music.

But it seems that a large chunk of users is not quite impressed with the new features and design changes brought to the Home page.

New Spotify Home page UI

Many Android users (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) are quite disheartened because of the recent changes introduced to the Home page of the Spotify app.

It seems that the new Home page no longer includes sections like Daily Mixes, Recently played, Trending now, and Popular artists. There are only big icons showing random playlists that take up most of the space.

The new Home page UI also requires users to manually switch to ‘Shuffle’ after every single playlist.

Some Spotify users are even forced to revert to an older version as they feel restricted by the giant album cover while browsing music.

There are also several reports on the Spotify community forum that show users’ frustration with the new Home page design.

Spotify’s response

Unfortunately, Spotify hasn’t properly acknowledged the issue yet and has only asked displeased users to reinstall the app or restart their devices.

There’s also no workaround that can help resolve this matter for Spotify users temporarily.

We hope that the Android and iOS users facing issues with the new Spotify Home page UI get some respite soon.

We’ll keep tabs on further developments and update this article as and when something noteworthy comes up.
