[Android][Developer] Android 13 Media Player

[Jammie16]

(This problem is solved on the latest beta version of Spotify for Android, thanks for all who replied and voted to this <3)

Hi, currently the Android version of the app is running in SDK target of 31, because of that, the media player in Android 13 is not fully adapted to it, with the background image in low resolution and no redesign, if you guys update the app to the SDK target of 33 the app will run perfectly in the current version of Android, with the new design, (the problem of low res background is still occuring). Here are some screenshots:

I have Android 13 in Samsung S22+, Spotify version app 8.8.0.347. Why dont have I the new player interface at notification bar?

[Jammie16]

Hi, the new interface is only available for Google Pixel devices, since
OneUI interface doesn't have the same design as Google's UI

Wow only 3 years and nearly 3 Android versions too late, well done Spotify.
With any luck it might reach your Jira backlog before the end of this
decade.

At least we have podcasts and audiobooks cluttering up our paid music
streaming service now. Thank you for prioritising that over basic
maintenance.
