Spotify is definitely one of the biggest and best streaming services available on all platforms. The best thing is that the company constantly tries to improve the overall user experience. There have been some misfires in the past, but overall, it is going on the right track. Today, however, the company has announced a brand new style of UI that reminds us of TikTok.
Spotify will have a new TikTok-styled feed that will help users sample audio and videos with just one tap
Spotify announced a new feature that gives you access to a home feed that resembles TikTok. The said home screen shows videos and audio previews for your music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Spotify seems confident about this new style and has also talked about how this new interface will allow users to discover content properly and better connect artists and fans. The company even considers it the biggest evolution that it has made and considering how the UI is about to look, I am not really going to deny that. You can have a look at how it works below.
Now, before you decide to uninstall the app, the feature has not been made available at the time of writing. Another thing that you must understand is that Spotify introduced this new change to help the younger generation sample the audio before they actually go ahead and listen to it. I believe it is an excellent way for people to figure out whether they like how the song sounds before they start listening to it.
The entire feature is made in such a way that users have absolutely no difficulties in navigating. While it might be jarring at first, considering how Spotify is known for streaming-first capabilities, you will get used to it. The preview option and TikTok-style UI will definitely appeal to the younger audience.
If you are wondering, the feature is not rolling out at the time of writing. Spotify did not even mention the release date, either. However, the company has mentioned that the feature will be rolling out to both iOS and Android users and will be available for free and premium subscribers worldwide.
Spotify taking inspiration from TikTok might not sit well with some users, but the company’s reasoning for how modern user prefers sampling the audio before actually playing it is not wrong. This will attract many new consumers, making the app a better experience for everyone.
