About a year ago, we reworked the Spotify mobile experience torefresh our Home interface. Since then, Spotify users have been able to access the content they love more quickly and easily-and maybe even discover something new straight from their home screen. But the ease and discovery don't stop there. This month, we're announcing a series of updates that will make the Home experience even more personalized for each and every listener.
We're constantly working on ways to improve our user experience. Through this latest update, we'll be rolling out several advancements on the mobile Home hub designed to make finding the audio you love easier and more intuitive. These will rollout to users globally on iOS and Android this month.
Whether you're looking to replay some of your favorites, pick up where you left off, or discover something new, there's something for everyone on the Home hub. Learn more about these new features below.
Travel back in time: Rediscover lost gems in your listening history with a new 'Recently played' destination, where users can jump back in time and browse up to three months' worth of listening history. Premium and Free users globally will be able to browse recently played individual tracks and episodes in addition to the playlists, albums, and shows they were played from.
Jump into new and unfinished podcasts: Global Premium users can view new and relevant podcast episodes right within the Home hub. New episodes will be marked with a blue dot, and episodes you've already started will display a progress bar indicating how far into the episode you are.
Discover more music: Premium users globally won't miss a single track from artists they love. Now, you will see a new surface highlighted on top of the Home hub dedicated to discovery-oriented recommendations that are personalized, timely, and reactive to your taste.
We believe that together, these updates will improve accessibility of both podcast and music content across mobile for your users. We'll continue to adapt and evolve our platform to meet the needs of our users, ultimately providing the best possible audio experience for our listeners around the world.
