This summer, the app Spotify received another of many updates through the Google Play Store. With it, for those who had the widget On the home screen of your devices, there was an empty space. The streaming music service had decided remove widget and caught many by surprise. The effect appears not to have been what they intended, and the complaints have piled up by the dozens. So they have given reverse.
Like many other online apps and services, Spotify It has a forum in which its users can comment on news, and suggest them, or ask for help from support -among other things-. And in this community forum, as we were advancing, complaints against the platform have been accumulating since they decided remove widget from android. Fortunately, only a few weeks later they have given an official response to the problem and have commented that 'apparently, there are people who are not happy since he was eliminated', referring to the Spotify widget for Android mobile devices. But there is more.
Spotify officially confirms that it will offer the Android widget again soon
For now, since Spotify They have not given an official date, but they have commented that the widget will return to the Android version. In greater detail, in the same publication they recalled that 'take into account the feedback and ideas of their community', and in this regard, they have made the decision to 'make some visual and performance improvements on the android widget '. And indeed, it will be available again with one of the next updates to the application. You will be able to pause and change the song, although to modify the volume you will have to get into settings.
It shouldn't take too long for this update to arrive. Meanwhile, users have found an alternative. In the absence of the official Spotify widget for Android devices, there are third-party apps that do exactly the same, such as Music Music Widget. This app is responsible for creating a widget on the home screen, and not only for Spotify but also for any of the local and streaming music playback apps.
While the Spotify widget for Android comes back to life officially, with one of its next updates, we can make use of this app that is free and that, at a functional level, perfectly complies with what the firm dedicated to the music streaming took from us a few weeks ago.
