[iOS][iPadOS][macOS] Support for interactive playback widget

[Emil_Beck_Aagaard]

Hi, in the new iOS 17/iPad OS/Sonoma update Apple is adding support for interactive widgets. I would love if you could experiment with adding this feature to Spotify as it isn’t currently supported. 

The widget could come in multiple sizes, ranging from a simple pause button to a full album cover, upcoming music and the ability to scroll in a song or podcast for the big screens.

EDIT: Thanks for the support, remember to like the idea, so we can get this feature implemented 😁!

It’s been almost a year since this suggestion was posted and nothing has been done. Rather we get those useless AI features.

Spotify devs, we’re didn’t pay the price increase for some gimmicks. Please give us the useful features.

I think it’s finally been implemented! I was just playing something, glanced at my homescreen which has the small Spotify widget and I noticed the play symbol on it. Pressed it and lo and behold it works!

On Spotify version 9.0.22.638 (iOS 18.3.1) in case anyone’s wondering.

Can anyone else confirm this? 
I am on 9.0.24.661 and do not see it…

Would be nice if Spotify finally implemented the feature 😅

I just updated the app to 9.0.26.607 on an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 18.3.2 and I'm not seeing that at all.
