Spotify Rolls Out Support for Redesigned Media Player on Android 13 Lock Screen, Notification Area

Spotify, the music and podcast streaming service, has begun rolling out support for Android 13’s redesigned media player for eligible devices through a stable update via the Google Play store. The media player on Android 13 saw a redesign of the media player for Android devices on the lock screen and notification menu. The latest Android 13 media player sports a taller frame for album art previews, redesigned icons, and improves the placement of the seek bar for easier control of songs.

Google announced the roll-out of Android 13 in August this year, and the latest version of Google’s operating system comes with a redesigned media player which is displayed on the lock screen and the notification menu. Spotify finally seems to have updated its app with support for the new media player with version 8.7.92.521 of the Spotify App for Android, as spotted by 9to5Google.

Spotify first made the Android 13 media player support available to users via a previously released beta update. Support for the media player has now made its way to the stable channel through Spotify version 8.7.92.521, which can be downloaded from the Play Store.

Users on Android 13 will see rounded square shaped pause and play icons on the right which is visibly larger and easier to access than on Android 12 devices. The seek bar is on the bottom which is flanked on either side by the next, and previous track navigation buttons. Meanwhile, a shuffle and heart button are also featured on the new media player.

YouTube Music, YouTube, Google Podcasts, Chrome, Recorder, and Play Books were the first to start supporting the Android 13 media player, which is not surprising as they are all Google apps.

Spotify isn’t the first third-party streaming app to introduce support for the Android 13 media player — services like SoundCloud, Pocket Casts, and Shazam have already updated their apps to support the new media player Android 13, according to the 9to5Google report.

Eligible device users around the world can now download the latest stable version of Spotify 8.7.92.115 for Android with support for the redesigned Android 13 media player from the Play Store.

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G Reportedly Receives Android 13 Update With One UI 5.0

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G is reportedly receiving an update to Android 13, with the company’s One UI 5.0 interface on top. The update has been spotted in Europe. Samsung officially unveiled the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update last month at the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) 2022. The latest update has been released under the firmware version number A336BXXU4BVJG and has a file size of about 2GB. The update is based on Android 13 with Samsung’s own One UI 5.0 skin running on top. However, in terms of security, the latest One UI 5.0 update for the Galaxy A33 5G comes with the October 2022 patch, even though it is released in November.

The November security patch is expected roll out soon with another update in the coming weeks, according to Galaxy Club who first sighted the rollout of the latest One UI 5.0 update on the Samsung Galaxy A-series phone that was launched earlier this year.

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G users in Europe may check to see if they can download the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 update by manually navigating to the phone’s Settings > Software update > Download and install.

Samsung’s One UI 5.0 has appears to offer the ability to customise the lock screen, which is similar to the lock screen customisation feature on iOS 16. However, while users can long-press to enable the customisation menu on the lock screen on both One UI 5.0 and iOS 16, it is worth noting that Samsung has allowed users to customise their lock screens for years, via its Good Lock modules.

Other features that will be available after updating to Samsung’s One UI 5.0 update also include personalisation options such as custom-built Modes and Routines and a new Bixby Text Call feature, which allows the Bixby Voice assistant to answer your calls and automatically trigger the sharing of a customized message with the caller, if left unanswered.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series which includes the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra appear to be the first device to get updated to Google’s Android 13 update through a stable UI 5.0 update rollout. Disappointingly, owners of the company’s latest flagships foldable phones — the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 — will have to wait to get their hands on the latest Android 13-based One UI 5 update.
