  "account": "Spotify is piloting a new \"Pins\" shelf in the mobile Your Library tab, aiming to declutter the user interface. This dedicated section will house pinned playlists, albums, and podcasts, providing users with an independent carousel view. The design allows for separate layout controls, enabling users to switch between List, Grid, or Compact view for pins, without affecting the main library view. This server-side test is currently being rolled out to a select number of Android and iOS users. The change follows Spotify's recent tightened Family plan location checks and the introduction of an AI-powered Remix add-on. If successful, this revamped mobile layout could encourage users to remain loyal to the streaming service despite these recent updates. As reported by Reddit user alright-alright-, the refreshed Your Library UI now features a separate \"Pins\" section directly beneath the top filter chips. This allows pinned playlists, albums, and podcasts to be displayed independently from the rest of the user's collection.",
