The Spotify TV app has a fresh new look that makes it look more like their desktop app and a million times more useable.
Spotify‘s TV experience is finally getting an update to make streaming from your Smart TVs enjoyable. They’re bringing the TV app inline with their mobile and desktop apps for a fresh coat of paint that also makes streaming better.
There’s a lot that’s changing to make your experience better. Let’s make it easy, and list everything new in the update:
- New Home design: We’ve redesigned the Home page, bringing the big-screen experience in line with our Mobile and Desktop apps. You can now easily find familiar shortcuts to favorites, recently played audio, and personalized recommendations right on top of the Home page.
- ‘Up next’ listening queue: Previously it was only possible for TV listeners to view the next song lined up. Now, with the newly introduced Now Playing view, you can better manage your listening session by viewing and controlling what plays next through the easily accessible queue.
- Dark mode: For those occasions where the TV is not meant to be the center of attention, simply turn on Dark mode through Now Playing view. This will dim the screen and tune down the visuals to display a minimal amount of information so you can listen and still keep the mood.
- Account switching: Since multiple people in your household probably use the TV, account switching is a key feature for TV app users. We’ve made it easier to switch accounts by always showing the active profile in the top-right corner of your screen. Changing profile accounts can be done at any time by selecting your profile image, keeping the experience tailored to your preferences and listening habits.
Spotify’s update to their TV app launches today so you should be able to use it straight away. The update comes to Free and Premium users and applies across Smart TVs, gaming console apps, and media-streaming devices.
