Overview
- Premium subscribers on mobile and tablet in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa are getting access now, with rollout completion expected in the coming weeks.
- Smart Filters work across playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks, and they can also initiate a new session with Spotify’s AI DJ.
- Users open the feature by tapping the filter icon at the top left of Your Library, then choose options tailored by mood, activity, or genre such as Relaxing, Yoga, or jazz hip-hop.
- Spotify paired the launch with other tools including a 30‑day track snooze, a redesigned queue with improved controls, Discover Weekly genre selection, and options for custom cover art.
- The update arrives as some users complain of an increasingly crowded interface and as broader criticism of CEO Daniel Ek’s financial ties has coincided with some artists leaving the platform.
