Spotify is rolling out a new ‘Recents’ page that will allow users to see the content they’ve consumed over the last 90 days and it will be integrated with music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
The page will replace the ‘Listening History’ tab and be accessible for all accounts, including those on the free plan.
The recently listened to content will be stored and users can then toggle between ‘Music,’ ‘Podcasts’ or ‘Audiobooks’ to see tailored history.
It will also include saved content, so people can come back to find or watch something at a later time. The content will be listed in chronological order, with other filters available to help narrow down when searching.
The tool was released for iOS and Android on Monday (November 25) but could take some time to roll out fully and reach every account on the platform.
How to access Spotify’s new Recents page
To access Spotify’s Recents page, you have to tap on your profile which is in the upper left-hand corner of the app and the upper-right-hand corner of the web. This is the circular bubble icon that displays either your image or the initial of your name.
From there, a menu will appear which will display ‘Recents’ as the third option. It will then show the new tool and the different filters to click through are at the top of the page.
This roll-out comes as the platform focuses on other new features too, especially its audiobooks department.
It recently announced some innovations including author pages, video clips for exploring audiobooks, countdown pages to save a book before its release date, follow-along, and playlists.
Within this, a new built-in Sleep Timer was brought in too. This lets people “enjoy an audiobook and drift off without having to worry about it continuing until the end.” The time before it automatically stops can be decided on beforehand, with this being eligible for Spotify Premium members.
The company has also just signed a new partnership with Bloomsbury to bring a wider assortment of audiobooks to its digital shelves.
