Spotify for Android revamps its Home Tab with a Sidebar Menu
Spotify is getting a new update for Android devices that changes the home tab UI. The update brings back a sidebar menu that makes it easier to access settings and other features. You can open the sidebar menu by tapping on your profile picture at the top left corner of the screen.
The Sidebar menu has four shortcuts:
- Your Profile
- What’s New
- Listening history
- Settings and privacy
The What’s New feed shows you new podcasts and albums from the artists you follow. The settings were previously hidden under the Library tab, which was not very intuitive.
The new UI update comes after Spotify announced a new feature for audiobooks. Spotify Premium users will get 15 hours of free audiobooks every month, in addition to their purchases. They can choose from over 150,000 audiobooks on Spotify. This feature will be available in the US later this year, and in the UK and Australia this week.
