My home screen changed its layout, on its own

Petal8222 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 23:59:48 GMT

Not quite sure how to word this, but my home screen randomly moved both the taskbar, and the song display from the left side of my screen to the bottom. My song display is also now tiny, and has no rewind or fast forward button. I have looked through the in app settings, and have found nothing. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, can anyone help?

Hey @Petal8222,

Thanks for reaching out!

Could you attach a screenshot of what you're seeing on your end so that we can get a better look at what's going on?
We'd also like to ask if you remember if anything specific happened around the time when the layout changed 🙂

Much appreciated! We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

I think what they meant was something like this? (I attached the new layout) I hate this layout and im using Samsung Tab S9. Can i ask for the old layout back or make a setting for it?

Hey @a1ra_rawr,

Welcome to the Community and thank you for joining the thread.

We appreciate the screenshots and the info you've included in your post. We can also confirm that the new layout is an expected change. Bear in mind that Spotify is always testing things by adding or removing features or changing visuals to make Spotify better overall, so you or someone else may see something new or get a limited feature temporarily on the app.

We’re sorry that this means you’re not able to use the app on your tablet like you wish to do at the moment, but we hope you’ll continue using it and find it gets better in the future.

Once again - thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it. Let us know if we can help with anything else. We're always one reply away.

Cheers!
