Spotify redesigns Your Library on mobile

Spotify

Spotify has just announced it's revamping the Your Library tab on both Android and iOS. The goal was to streamline that way you can access your audio collection. According to Spotify, "Your Library's updated design and added features will enable you to spend less time looking for content and organizing your collection, and more time rediscovering the music and podcasts you've loved over the years."

The new look will make it easier to browse and search through your entire collection in one place. There will be new dynamic filters to help you look through your collection. You can choose between album, artist, playlist, or podcast. And for Premium users, you can tap on the Downloaded filter to see which content is available offline.

Google Stadia for Web finally gets search

Google

Google Stadia is finally bringing search to the web this week. It will make it easier for you to search for your favourite titles. The Stadia team also says a new UI rolling out this week will make it easier to sort your library. It'll help you keep track of your purchased, free, and Pro games.

Aside from that, the Stadia team also teased upcoming features that will come to the service, including an activity feed where you can share your best video captures and help friends find your game states with State Share. It'll also be a way for you to find content from other players. Stadia will also let you directly access the service through an Android web browser instead of the app. And if you want to bulk delete captures, you'll be able to do so on the web soon.
