This is how you place a Spotify widget on your home screen
Android phones have had widgets for many years. Since the release of iOS 14, these handy app windows are also available on your iPhone. With a widget you can see the most important information from an app without having to open it.
The popular music service Spotify now also has its own widget for iOS. It shows you which music or podcasts you last listened to. By clicking on one of the titles, you open it in Spotify.
