• Spotify's mobile app home screen gets a new design to simplify music and video discovery.
• The new design includes personalized audio and visual previews, Smart Shuffle, and more.
• Also, autoplay for Podcasts is now available on Spotify's mobile app.

Spotify app’s home screen gets a complete redesign to simplify the process of discovering new music and video content. The new design features a visually-rich interface with a heavy emphasis on vertical scrolling, replacing the traditional album cover layout with an Instagram-like feed. The goal is to make it easier for users to browse through content and find new favourites across the entire Spotify ecosystem as they scroll through the feed.

During its Stream On event, Spotify unveiled its plans for a mobile app redesign, featuring a new home screen that offers users the ability to quickly preview music, podcasts, and audiobooks. The app update also includes a new ‘Smart Shuffle’ button, improved search discovery features, and an autoplay feature for podcasts.

For more details on all the changes coming to the app, see the list below.
Music, Podcasts and Audiobook previews on Home
With the new Spotify mobile app redesign, simply tapping into the Music, Podcasts & Shows, or Audiobooks feed offers personalized audio and visual previews. From there, users can save or share content, and explore artist or podcast pages in more depth.
Smart Shuffle
The redesigned Spotify mobile app provides a fresh listening experience with personalized recommendations that match the vibe of user-generated playlists. This feature enhances the listening experience by shuffling tracks and offering perfectly tailored suggestions.
New feeds for discovery in Search
By scrolling up or down on the Spotify app, users can browse short Canvas clips from tracks across a range of favourite genres. The redesigned app makes it easy to save the song to a playlist, follow the artist, or share it with friends. Additionally, users can explore related genres using hashtags within the feed, allowing for the effortless discovery of new favourites.

Furthermore, the app also offers the ability to preview tracks on popular playlists such as Discover Weekly, Release Radar, New Music Friday, and RapCaviar.
Autoplay for Podcasts
Similar to the music feature, Spotify now offers Autoplay for Podcasts. After an episode ends, the app will automatically play another relevant episode that matches the user's listening preferences.
