The focus is on even greater personalization. All Android and iOS users should receive the update by the end of March. It could take a little longer before the new design of the desktop and web player arrives at all users worldwide.

All users of the advertising-financed Spotify and Spotify Premium should benefit from the innovations. In addition to the revised, clear design, Spotify has stated that it has attached importance to more control elements and an improved user experience.
