There has been a development about Spotify, the world’s most popular online music and podcast platform. The developer team, which updated the iOS version of the application, started to provide widget support for iPhones. Users will now be able to use Spotify as a widget from the lock and home screen of their phones.
In fact, iPhone owners who wished could use Spotify on their lock screens. However, this was one of the features offered by iOS rather than Spotify and offered a basic level of experience. The version with the code “8.8.26” has started to offer support for widgets, which are among the most talked about innovations of Apple in recent years.
This is what Spotify’s widget support will look like
Spotify’s widget support for iOS will make it easier for users. So much so that the user who adds a widget to the lock screen will be able to control the music or volume level with a single touch.
The widgets that Spotify offers for the home screen will have two different shapes. The smaller widget will provide information for the last listened song or podcast. By touching the widget, the user will reach the song’s page directly. The large widget, on the other hand, will offer fuller content. Accordingly, the last content listened at the top, the profile of the author, playlists, albums and podcasts will be found at the bottom. The user will have direct access to one of them.
Meanwhile; iPhone must be running at least iOS 16 for the feature to be available. Also, according to the team, if the widget cannot be edited despite the update, the iPhone will need to be restarted. Let’s also mention that the application version must be 8.8.26 in order to use Spotify’s widget support. It needs to be updated via the App Store.
