Spotify Launches Redesigned Apple TV App With Music Videos, Podcasts

Spotify has launched a redesigned Apple TV app that the company says has been "rebuilt from the ground up for a faster, smarter, more visual experience."

spotify apple tv update
The new features include a brand new, refreshed design for tvOS 26, as well as two formats previously exclusive to the mobile version of the app – video podcasts and music videos.

The ability to watch music videos is still rolling out in the U.S. and Canada, but it has already expanded to 97 countries around the world, so everyone should have it soon.

Users should see a "switch to video" prompt that appears when a song being listened to also has an associated music video. Video versions of podcasts work similarly, with the added option to change playback speed.

The updated app also offers remote control via Connect, lyrics, Spotify DJ recommendations, seamless playback, and queue management.

Note that if you wait for the new version of the app via automatic updates, you won't see it until mid-November, so you'll want to download it yourself via the App Store.

It does seem Apple is catastrophically behind the times again when it comes to video podcasts.

Personally I feel it was a mistake to move away from iTunes, or a single media app. Both Apple’s biggest competitors in this space, YouTube and Spotify, combine media into one place and are marching ahead meanwhile with Apple you’ve got a mixture of apps and websites, some on some platforms some not on others. Yet again completely lacking vision.

Yeah, I'm sure Taylor Swift is at home right now crying in her soup. Spotify has the largest base of listeners.

If you walk into a Costco, do you boo-hoo for the manufacturers who are forced to sell their products much lower than anywhere else while Costco rakes in huge profits? It's because Costco sells quantities much higher than anyone else. Same with Spotify. No one is holding a gun to the artists heads forcing them to put their music there.
This is such an unbelievably uninformed and incorrect take, truly incredible

Aren't they bankrupt yet? Stealing from artists and living off the poor singers

Can you now see why it was a mistake to split iTunes up?
No? I don't really see why it matters if all media is in one app or spread across multiple apps. I prefer to have my music in Music, podcasts in Podcasts, shows and movies in TV, etc. I don't need every app to be everything.
