TL;DR
- Spotify is testing a new, minimalist “Now Playing” screen for Wear OS, as spotted on a Galaxy Watch 7 running One UI 8 Watch.
- The UI showcases prominent album art without traditional controls. Gestures like taps and double-taps are used to play, pause, or skip tracks.
- This experience appears to be part of limited server-side testing by Spotify and isn’t yet available to all users.
Spotify has been on a roll recently, adding new features like Page Match and About the Song to give users a better music and audiobook experience. It seems the company has more features in the works, as a user has now spotted a new “Now Playing” screen for Wear OS smartwatches.
