Spotify is making music discovery feel even more effortless with a fresh wave of features designed to give users greater control over their listening experience. Starting today, a gradual rollout is introducing updates focused on playlist customization, intuitive discovery tools, and streamlined mobile controls—all aimed at enhancing how users connect with the music they love.
For Premium users, the Queue feature—the familiar three lines at the bottom of the Now Playing view—has received a major design upgrade. The refreshed interface includes easy access to Shuffle, Smart Shuffle, Repeat, and the Sleep Timer, offering greater control over playback. Users will also now see which songs Spotify recommends after their queued tracks finish, making it easier to decide what plays next. For those who prefer a strictly personal playlist, Autoplay and Smart Shuffle can be toggled off in Settings.
To further tailor the listening experience, Spotify is improving the Hide button and testing a new feature called Snooze. The updated Hide button now ensures that once a track is hidden from a playlist, it stays hidden across all devices. Meanwhile, the new 30-day Snooze feature allows users to temporarily remove a song from their recommendations—ideal for taking a short break from overplayed tracks without removing them permanently. This feature is currently being tested with Premium users and will expand soon.
Spotify is also unveiling updated mobile playlist management tools. At the top of every playlist, users will now find clear options to Add, Sort, and Edit tracks. These features make it easier to adjust playlist names, update cover art, and reorder tracks for the perfect vibe.
A new update for Liked Songs gives users in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K., and the U.S. even more flexibility. Tracks from the Liked Songs list can now be filtered by genre and instantly turned into standalone playlists—a streamlined way to spin off a new mix from existing favorites.
The Create button, located in the bottom-right corner of the mobile app, has also become a hub for music curation. With a single tap, users can start new playlists, collaborate with friends, or join a Blend. Premium users in supported markets can also quickly access Jam for real-time group listening or use AI Playlist to craft playlists based on creative prompts and ideas. With AI Playlist now available in more markets, users can unlock even more possibilities for personalized playlist creation.
For those wondering about the whereabouts of their Library, it’s still available—just in a slightly different place. On mobile devices, it can now be found as the third icon along the bottom navigation bar, keeping all personalized content just a tap away.
With these new tools and tests, Spotify continues to evolve its platform to meet the changing needs of its global audience—empowering every listener to build a soundtrack that’s uniquely their own.
