At my Stream On event Spotify has officially updated the home screen design of its iOS and Android apps.. This is not surprising news given that rumors about it leaked out a few days ago. The most interesting thing is that we can now take a first look at the new looks streaming platform that is now clearly inspired by TikTok.
Spotify’s new design not only puts a strong emphasis on A feed with vertical navigationlike in the popular video app, but also in content with images. From now on, every time we enter the platform, we will find a somewhat strange mixture of new and already known elements.
At the top of the home screen, we’ll still see shortcuts to our latest artists, podcasts, songs, or albums. However, going down, we find interface with cards which combines large disc images and playlists or video players with snippets of video clips or video podcasts.
The intent is that easier to find interesting or engaging content, and that it can be previewed. “We’ve found that the next generation of listeners are hungry for the best ways to test out sound before getting fully immersed in it,” they said from Spotify.

In addition to the changes to the home screen, the top will still show access to three different sections: music, podcasts and shows, and audiobooks. Each of them will have their own feed vertical navigation, where interaction will be supplemented with components explicitly drawn from the most popular social networks of the moment.
when you do scroll new Spotify, it’s impossible not to feel like the experience is pulled from TikTok or Instagram Reels. It won’t necessarily be bad, but it will depend on how quickly the public adapts to the new look. What is clear is that the redesign aims to entice younger users to spend more time on the app.
“The world today is pulling us in a million different directions. So the most important thing we at Spotify can do for creators is to close the distance between their art and the people who love it or who will love it once they discover it.” Gustav SoderstromHead of Technology and Products at Spotify.
In addition to the Spotify-style redesign, the company has highlighted the introduction of artificial intelligence in new features. The most outstanding is the DJ, who is able to create playlists based on the musical tastes of each user. Although they also highlighted the inclusion of personalized recommendations that are intelligently generated and automatic podcast playback.
