Spotify updates its interface by surprise

One of the applications with more downloads of the Play Store to listen to music is Spotify and has been news for having updated its interface by surprise . The change has been so radical, that it has taken many by surprise and is that there has been no need to update the application through Google Play Store, but has changed automatically .

In this update it becomes clear once again that the death of the so-called "hamburger menu" is coming to show the new lower navigation menu to which many applications are turning. In an article that we published a few days ago, we commented on the virtues of this inferior navigation menu and why it was a benefit to adopt it in the design of the interface of the app.

Spotify updates its interface by surprise and gives it a change in favor of the bottom navigation menu.

With this change, we now have all the possibilities of the app more at hand and in a more organized way. From the lower menu we can directly access the home screen, our song library, the search options, the radio or explore new songs.

Before the settings of the app were in the hamburger menu, but have had to move to the section of the library and in the upper right you have to click on the icon with a gear.

This new interface is already incorporated by applications such as Wikipedia or Google Play Kiosk. It is a way to increase accessibility while gaining comfort. It is true that the hamburger menu allowed to keep the screen clear of menus, but being located at the top of the screen, its accessibility was being compromised with the tendency to have larger screens every time .
