Spotify Brings Fresh Look and Enhanced Features to Apple TV

Spotify users on Apple TV are in for a smoother and more feature-rich experience. The streaming giant has rolled out a revamped app that incorporates several functionalities from its mobile platforms onto the Apple TV, such as the ability to organize your playlist and check out song lyrics.

New Control Options

The update introduces remote control capabilities via the Spotify Connect feature, aiming to resolve any previous issues with volume adjustments. Additionally, Spotify DJ, an AI-driven tool, is now available to help users decide what to listen to next.

Enhanced Video Support

For users who enjoy video content, this update is significant. Apple TV will now support podcast videos, allowing for control over playback speed. This feature addition aligns well with Spotify's recent announcement that some podcast videos are planned to be available on Netflix from early 2026.

Introducing Music Videos

Another major upgrade is the introduction of music videos to Apple TV. Premium subscribers across 97 beta test regions can now choose to view video versions of tracks, similar to how podcast tools function.

New User Interface

Spotify's tvOS interface has been completely overhauled to offer a fresh user experience. The redesigned Spotify app for Apple TV is expected to be accessible to all users by mid-November.
