After a long wait, Spotify will allow you to organize playlist folders on mobile devices.
Spotify is introducing several new features, including bulk editing, background downloads for iOS, and a reshuffle button for Premium users.
Spotify has launched a series of updates that dedicated playlist fans have eagerly anticipated. The standout feature is the introduction of playlist folders on mobile, a functionality that has been available on desktop for years but was previously missing for mobile users.
You can now categorize your playlists by mood, activity, or genre right from your mobile device, and it’s even possible to create subfolders within folders for more extensive organization. Playlist folders are currently accessible for all users worldwide, without needing a subscription.
The Spotify app is getting several new features:
Playlist folders are now on mobile, allowing you to organize your library while on the move.
Bulk editing tools enable you to simultaneously move or remove multiple tracks, podcast episodes, or audiobook chapters from a playlist.
Premium users now have access to multi-select queue management, offering greater control over the playback order without the hassle of adjusting one song at a time.
Background downloads are now available on iOS for Premium users, allowing music and podcasts to download even when the app is not open. This feature was already available on Android, making it a long-awaited improvement for iPhone users.
A new reshuffle button allows you to create a new shuffle order instantly without having to turn the shuffle feature off and on again. This feature is exclusive to Premium users.
These updates represent a welcome shift from Spotify’s recent focus on AI-driven features, which included AI-generated daily briefings and personalized podcasts, as well as AI-created song covers and remixes. Additionally, Spotify recently introduced the ability to clip and share favorite podcast moments directly on social media.
Sometimes the most fulfilling updates are those that enhance the app's functionality in ways users have long desired. Ensure your Spotify app is updated to access all the new features immediately.

Halide Mark III brings artistic film aesthetics to one of the best iPhone camera applications, offering stunning film-inspired styles, a robust photo editing lab, and all the necessary tools integrated within the app.
I dislike the overly processed images that modern iPhones tend to produce, which is why Halide has become my go-to camera app. Its Process Zero mode revives the authenticity of photos by eliminating the additional processing that Apple commonly applies, resulting in images reminiscent of classic cameras. The app is so highly regarded that even Apple attempted to acquire it.
The Halide Mark II was already considered one of the top iPhone camera apps, and now, Lux Optics, the creators of Halide, have launched Halide Mark III, a comprehensive update designed to make it the ultimate camera app you'll ever need – and based on my experience, it may just succeed.
