Spotify's mobile app has been updated for iOS and Android, making the Home interface even easier to use. It makes it easier to organize and discover songs you've already listened to, perfect for ever-growing playlists and random podcast episodes.

Not all of the new features are available in the free version of the app, but the new "Recently Played Songs" feature is available with either membership. When this feature is available, users will be able to access it by tapping the new clock icon next to Settings on the home screen. There, up to three months of listening history will be displayed as individual tracks or podcast episodes.

Speaking of new releases, Premium members will receive a new Home section dedicated to discovery-oriented recommendations of fresh music. According to Spotify, these are "personalized, timely, and responsive to your preferences," and for those who want Spotify to provide songs that users will enjoy, the recommendations are worth looking into.

Finally, Premium users who like podcasts will find the revamp useful. The home interface will display unfinished podcasts along with a progress bar, allowing listeners to see at a glance how far along they are in an episode. New episodes will be marked with blue dots, making it easier than ever to watch new episodes and catch up on old ones.

The update will roll out this month on Spotify for iOS and Android. We also recommend looking at the difference between Spotify Free and Premium to determine when it's time to upgrade; Spotify offers four different Premium memberships, starting at $9.99/£9.99/$11.99 AUD.

For audiophiles seeking lossless streaming, Spotify Hifi will debut this year, making this music streaming service one to watch.
