Spotify Announces Sleek New Design for Apple Watch App

Spotify has announced a 'sleek' new design for its Apple Watch app with larger artwork, animations, and added functionality.

Starting today, we’re rolling out a new and improved listening experience for Spotify users on Apple Watch. This means you’ll be able to more easily browse and choose your favorite music and podcasts in Your Library, as well as more quickly download music to listen offline from the watch itself. There’s also a new sleek design with larger artwork, animations, and added functionality—like swiping to like a song. It’s also super easy to spot new episodes marked with a blue dot, so you’ll never miss fresh episodes from your favorite creators.

You can download the Spotify app from the App Store.




The company also announced the ability to access Spotify and your recommendations via Ambient mode for the Amazon Fire TV QLED Omni Series.

With the all-new Ambient Experience, your Fire TV Omni QLED Series TV proactively shows helpful information throughout the day and provides hands-free access to your favorite music and Spotify recommendations. Beyond that, you can flick through albums, songs, and playlists using the remote control, or via Spotify Connect on your phone or tablet. Or you can switch between the two for a totally seamless experience.




Additionally, if you have Ray-Ban Stories, a new Spotify Tap feature is now available.

For those who are already rocking a pair of Ray-Ban Stories, we recently added Spotify Tap for you to easily enjoy your favorite tunes without having to take out your phone. Simply tap and hold on the side of your glasses to play Spotify. And if you want to hear something different, tap and hold again and Spotify will recommend something new.



Finally, expanding on its partnership with Delta, Spotify is now curating the music you hear as you board a flight. The playlist will update monthly.
