Spotify has updated its Apple TV app with a redesigned interface that offers a sleeker, more visual layout. The changes align the app’s design with Spotify’s experience on other platforms, making it more intuitive for users.
The update introduces several new features to enhance functionality. Users can now search for and play music videos directly in the app, expanding multimedia options. Podcasts are integrated seamlessly, appearing on the homescreen for easy access and playback. Song lyrics display in real-time within the app, allowing listeners to follow along during playback.
An AI DJ feature provides personalized music recommendations, building on the version previously available on devices like the Fire TV Stick. Playback controls have also improved, including better queue management and options to adjust video playback speed.
For added convenience, the app supports control from iPhones, letting users manage playback on the big screen without interrupting their flow. Remote control capabilities further simplify navigation on Apple TV devices.
This redesign arrives as streaming services intensify competition in non-mobile environments. The enhancements aim to increase user engagement and retention, particularly in social gatherings or households where Apple TV serves as a primary entertainment center.
