Spotify rolls out redesigned app for tablets, works on most foldables too [Gallery]

Spotify has redesigned its tablet app, now available to all users, enhancing the experience for tablets and select Android foldable devices. The new design features a dedicated "Now Playing" panel on the right side of the screen and a transformed bottom navigation bar divided into two sections for improved accessibility. The redesign is compatible with certain foldable devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Honor Magic V6, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, while some devices like the Oppo Find N6 are not supported due to optimization challenges. Additionally, Spotify launched a revamped Wear OS app earlier this year.

Instagram rolls out native app support for Android tablets

Instagram has launched a dedicated native app for Android tablets, featuring a multi-column layout for the feed, direct messages, and comments. The DMs section includes a split-pane view for easier communication, and comments can now be viewed alongside posts or Reels. The app enhances the Reels editing experience with a full horizontal timeline. Navigation has been updated with a side rail for better usability on larger screens. This release follows a previous limited tablet-style layout tested in 2023 and comes about seven months after Meta introduced a dedicated iPad app. Users can check for the update on the Play Store.
