Spotify rolling out ‘User Notes’ and ‘Running Mode’ features on Android – here’s what they do

Spotify rolling out ‘User Notes’ and ‘Running Mode’ features on Android – here’s what they do

Spotify is set to roll out two new features on Android: "Running Mode" and "User Notes." "Running Mode" automatically generates playlists tailored to the intensity, tempo, and music style of a user's workout. Users can personalize the workout type, duration, beats per minute, and preferred genre. This feature, available to Premium subscribers in select regions on iOS, is now being expanded to Android users.

In parallel, Spotify is introducing "User Notes," a feature allowing users to add personal annotations to songs in their library and playlists. These notes will be visible to other users if they are part of a shared playlist. Initially available to users aged 16+, "User Notes" are rolling out to both free and Premium users, but are currently limited to select markets.
