It’s currently hard to find your downloads in the Spotify app, even if you switch to the offline mode by going to Settings > Playback > Offline mode (who designed it this way, really?).
Offline listeners can celebrate at last: Spotify has finally found some time in between its rush to acquire other companies, and built-in a button to filter your downloads, so they’re easy to retrieve.
The company is rolling out a new mobile app design change for the Your Library section that will introduce filter bubbles such as Playlists, Artist, Albums and Podcasts & shows. Plus, THERE IS A DOWNLOAD FILTER!
That makes it way easier to filter your on-device music when you’re in a flight, or your internet connection is wonky. Plus, you can combine the downloaded filter with albums or playlist filters to make the search even more of a breeze. Notably, downloads are only available to premium users worldwide. But select markets like India also have this option for free users.
In addition to this, the company is introducing pinned podcast/albums, new sorting options, and a grid view. But I’m most thankful for the new download button.
This update will start rolling out to Spotify’s iOS and Android app in the coming days.
