Spotify has been on a roll lately with their new updates and features. Today, they announced a newLock Screen widget that allows you to launch the app directly before unlocking your phone. This is an excellent feature for those who use Spotify often and want to quickly access it without having to go through the home screen first.
Spotify, one of the most popular music streaming services on the planet, had not yet integrated Lock Screen widgets as of iOS 16’s release last fall. This may have been due to Spotify’s desire to maintain a unique look and feel for its app across all platforms. However, with iOS 17’s release earlier this year and the recent addition of support for Lock Screen widgets, Spotify has now joined the ranks of many other major tech companies in supporting this feature. As a result, users can now glance at their screens and see information like song lyric details or upcoming events right on their devices.
One of the benefits of using Lock Screen widgets is that they provide quick and easy access to apps you use most. For example, one of Google’s widgets lets you kick off a search right from the iPhone’s Lock Screen. This provides quicker and easier access to the information you need, whether it’s a quick lookup for something on your phone or an app download.
Spotify is a music streaming service that has been growing in popularity since it was first released in 2008. The app allows you to browse and play music from your own playlist or create new ones, as well as listen to curated playlists made by the Spotify team. You can also follow your favorite artists and tracks, message other users, and more.
Now, Spotify has released an official widget for Lock Screen users. This way, all users can have the same easy access to their music everywhere they go.
