Key Points:
- Spotify is introducing playlist folders to its iPhone and Android apps for the first time, a feature previously exclusive to the desktop version, now available globally to all users.
- Users can now perform bulk actions within playlists to edit and reorganize multiple tracks, books, or podcast episodes simultaneously, with Premium subscribers also able to manage multiple songs in their play queue at once.
- Premium subscribers on iOS will benefit from improved offline music access through background download support, allowing music and podcasts to download even when the app is closed, with progress notifications.
- A new one-tap reshuffle button is being added for Premium mobile users, enabling them to easily reorder shuffled playlists without toggling shuffle off and on.
