Spotify is one step closer to making that a reality as we unveil a new, improved, and more personalized way to discover music and listen to what you love on Spotify, for free.
The new ad-supported Spotify is a natural next step as Spotify continues to innovate and evolve for the needs of our users and will be rolling out globally to all users of Spotify on iOS and Android. With a new design on mobile, Free on Spotify includes a number of new features to make the listening experience more tailored to what you need to hear, now.
On-demand playlists
Fifteen new on-demand playlists offer the ability to pick and play any track within our curated lists—without skipping tracks or waiting on shuffle to bring up the music you love.
More personalized
With Spotify for free, users gain easy access to favorite songs and discovering new music is made simpler—and it’s personalized for you. These new playlists are easily accessible on the new Home screen, which is always being updated based on your listening activity.
Make Spotify yours
Tap the LIKE ♡ icon to quickly save songs to your Favorites playlist and tap the HIDE icon to hide songs you don’t want to hear. Recommendations will improve the more you listen and denote preferences.
Create your own playlists
Playlists are the key to creating a mood, whether it’s morning workout or weekend dance party, and now it’s even easier to create and edit a playlist with Spotify. Just give your playlist a name, search and preview specific tracks, and add to your playlist.
Play music using less mobile data with Data Saver
Music should be accessible to everyone, in every market—the love of a great song is what connects communities and cultures across the world. But many users of Spotify for free around the world aren’t able to enjoy music whenever they want, because of the volume of mobile data streaming typically uses. That's why they created Data Saver, a simple toggle switch that optimizes the listening experience to use less mobile data when listening to music.
The new free experience will be available on iOS and Android and will be rolling out globally to all markets in the coming weeks.
