What’s New is a new section in the Spotify app that collects collectively new music and content material from musicians and podcasts you observe on the platform. The feed, which is rolling out globally over the approaching weeks on iOS and Android, will probably be accessible through a brand new bell icon on the highest proper of the app’s residence display. A blue dot will present when there’s new content material within the feed, and artists and podcasts could be added by tapping the “Follow” button on their respective pages.

“What’s New makes it easier than ever to catch all the latest songs and episodes from the creators you follow,” Spotify’s announcement says. “Plus, it’s even updated in real time, so you know you’ll get to listen to new content just as it’s released.”

Although the brand new characteristic works with music releases, the feed is more likely to be most useful for retaining updated with podcasts. Despite Spotify’s massive push into podcasts, its historical past as a music-focused service has meant that its apps aren’t notably properly fitted to listening to episodic content material. Dedicated podcasting apps, in the meantime, are designed round chronological feeds, making it straightforward to see when new episodes can be found. Hopefully, What’s New will convey a few of these advantages to Spotify.
