Spotify Debuts Tablet-First App Redesign for iPad, Android Tablets, and Many Foldables

The design uses extra space for side-by-side browsing to help Spotify ship phone updates to tablets faster.

Overview

  • Spotify began rolling out the tablet-tailored interface on Thursday, bringing the update to iPads, Android tablets, and a range of foldable phones.
  • Adaptive orientation now reconfigures the layout in portrait or landscape so controls and content stay balanced on larger screens.
  • A new collapsible sidebar with scrollable sections lets users explore libraries and recommendations without leaving the Now Playing view.
  • A more prominent Switch to Video button makes it easier to move from audio to music videos and other visual content.
  • Availability varies by device, with reports showing the new UI on Galaxy Z Fold 7, Honor Magic V6, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold but not on Oppo Find N6.
