Spotify’s mobile apps now support creating and managing playlist folders, a feature users have requested for years. This update brings functionality previously limited to desktop and web versions directly to Android and iOS devices.
Key New Capabilities
The upgrade allows users to create, edit, and delete playlist folders on the go. Tap the ‘+’ button on the Library page to name a new folder, which then appears in the list. Existing playlists can now be moved into these folders, helping organize libraries without switching to a computer.
Additional options include playing all playlists within a folder sequentially or shuffling tracks across the entire folder’s contents, matching desktop behavior.
Rollout Details
The feature rolls out gradually, with some Android and iOS users already accessing it. Code hints emerged earlier this year, suggesting an initial limited test. Full availability may take time, potentially tying into Spotify’s 20th anniversary celebrations.
User Reactions
Feedback from users highlights long-standing demand. One commenter noted, “I’ve been wanting this for a very very long while now,” capturing widespread excitement for improved mobile organization after 15 years since the desktop debut.
