Spotify revamp its mobile app with TikTok

Spotify Technology S.A. SPOT has implemented a major revamp of its mobile app, and it appears that the music streaming giant has taken inspiration from ByteDance-owned TikTok.

You can listen to podcasts on Spotify or Apple: This platform is the top choice for listening to podcasts.

The platform said the mobile interface will give listeners more time and give them more space to share their work. The world today pulls us in a million different directions, said Gustav Soderstrom, Co-President and Chief Product Technology Officer. The most important thing we can do at Spotify is to reduce the distance between their art and the people who love it or who would love it as soon as they discovered it. The Home feed allows users to browse music, podcasts and shows, or audiobooks to explore previews of playlists.

According to AppleInsider, the interface is similar to TikTok and Apple Inc.'s AAPL Music connect.

There is a new feed for discovery in the Search section, which allows users to explore related genres using the hashtags within the feed. The DJ was released in beta form for Premium users in the U.S. and Canada.
