Spotify Rolls Out Widget Support for iOS 16, Allowing Easy Music Access from Home and Lock Screens!
Spotify has announced a significant update to its iOS 16 system integration, adding widget support for the iPhone lock screen. With this update, users can now access their recently played tracks, playlists, albums, or podcasts with a single touch from the home and lock screens.
Before this update, Spotify had only essential support for what was playing, with no support for iOS 16 widgets. However, the latest firmware, 8.8.26, now allows users to add Spotify widgets to the home and lock screens like any other widget.
While Spotify may be late to the party with support for iOS 16 widgets on the home and lock screens, it’s still a welcome addition for many users eagerly awaiting this feature. Competitors in the music app market have long supported iOS 16 widgets, allowing users to access their media library quickly.
To install the new Spotify widgets, users can use the standard “Add widget.” The service even supports multiple sizes of the home screen dies, making it even more convenient for users.
Despite the strained relationship between Spotify and Apple, the new update is a gesture of cooperation between the companies, providing Spotify users with more options and enhancing the overall music streaming experience on the iOS platform. The new features are available for all Spotify users on iOS 16, and users are encouraged to update to the latest firmware for the best experience.
