Spotify lets you edit your profile name and photo on mobile

It's a seemingly simple feature, but it's taken Spotify a while to bring it to its mobile apps. Thankfully, it's available now. The streaming music platform now lets you change your profile name and photo within the iOS and Android apps. Head to the Settings (gear icon), tap on View Profile, and then select Edit Profile underneath your name. The app will then let you change your name or photo there.

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' gets an early digital release in the US, too

Aside from Frozen 2 hitting Disney+ earlier than expected, another Disney property is showing up online earlier as well. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has been spotted in online digital stores in the US, including Vudu, iTunes, and Google Play. It isn't on Amazon yet as of this writing. The film isn't available for rent, though. You will need to purchase it, and you can do so for up to 4K quality. The Rise of Skywalker was expected to hit digital stores on March 17, but it looks like they wanted to capitalize on people spending their weekends in. We aren't sure if it's available here in Canada, too. But the wait shouldn't be long either.

Disney+ to start streaming 'Frozen 2' in Canada on March 17

Disney has chosen to release its beloved hit Frozen 2 three months ahead of its plan on Disney+ with hopes of bringing "some fun and joy during this challenging period." Canada, along with the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand, will be getting the film on Tuesday, March 17. US users will get the movie this Sunday, but it'll only be available in HD. Ultra HD version of the film will be coming out on Tuesday for all Disney+ markets.

It's both a charitable move as well as a savvy business approach for Disney, with more and more people finding themselves at home due to the coronavirus (COVID-19). The film could serve as a welcome distraction, but it is also an excellent way to advertise its streaming service.
