TL;DR
- Spotify has introduced a refreshed layout specifically for Android tablets and iPads, moving away from simply scaling up its mobile app.
- The update includes adaptive orientation for portrait/landscape modes and a new collapsible sidebar for parallel browsing.
- The rollout is currently live, featuring easier access to video toggles while maintaining a familiar feel for long-time users.
Spotify has had an impressively busy April, as the company rolled out features like Prompted Playlists for Podcasts, global video controls, and audiobook recaps. But Spotify is not done for the month, as the company has now announced a redesigned tablet experience for Android and iOS (iPadOS).
On Android tablets and iPads, Spotify had previously scaled up the mobile interface, which was usable but not a great experience. With the refreshed tablet layout, Spotify now aims to better take advantage of the extra space.
