Spotify app gets much-wanted updates but one is not for Android
Spotify has introduced four new features aimed at enhancing the user experience, but only three of these updates are available for Android devices. One notable addition is the ability to create and organize playlist folders directly within the mobile app. However, Android users will not have access to a new background downloading feature that is available to iOS users.
