We are excited to share that Spotify has made a recent update to its Android app, bringing back the classic look of its icon by removing the black border that was added five years ago. This change aims to provide a more streamlined and cohesive visual experience for users across various Android devices.

Here are some key points about the update:

– The latest version 8.9.44.368 of Spotify’s Android app now features an updated icon without the black border.
– The new icon design showcases the iconic Spotify logo in a circular shape, filling the entire space on devices with circular icons like Pixel phones.
– Both unthemed and themed icons have been adjusted, although the themed version may not perfectly match with other icons on your device.

It’s important to note that this new icon style is currently only available for devices with circular icons. If you have a Samsung Galaxy or another device with different icon shapes, you will continue to see the black border around the Spotify logo as before.

In addition to the icon update, Spotify has also introduced a new font called Spotify Mix exclusively for its platform. On a different note, Spotify has announced that it will be discontinuing Car Thing by the end of 2024. Existing Car Thing users can rest assured that their devices will continue to work until December 9, 2024, despite the discontinuation.

Furthermore, in response to user feedback, Spotify is offering refunds for Car Thing purchases with proof of purchase. This customer-centric approach reflects Spotify’s commitment to providing a seamless and enjoyable user experience for all its users.

Stay tuned for more updates from Spotify as they continue to enhance their platform and services for music lovers around the world.
