Spotify has rolled out a set of updates focused on playlist management and playback controls, bringing some long-requested features to its mobile app.
The update introduces playlist folders on Android and iOS, allowing users to organise playlists directly from their phones. Until now, the feature was limited to Spotify's desktop application.
Users can now create folders, rename them, and move playlists into them without opening the desktop app. The feature is aimed at listeners who maintain large collections of playlists and want a simpler way to keep them organized.
Playlist folders have been one of the most requested features among Spotify users, particularly those who use the service across multiple devices.
Spotify has also added bulk editing tools for playlists. Users can select multiple tracks at the same time and move or remove them in a single action instead of editing songs one by one. The feature extends to podcasts and audiobooks as well, making it easier to manage larger libraries.
The company has introduced new queue management tools for Premium subscribers. Users can now select several songs in the queue and rearrange or remove them together.
Spotify has also added a new ‘Reshuffle’ button that generates a fresh shuffle order instantly. The addition removes the need to repeatedly toggle shuffle mode to get a different sequence of songs.
Spotify is also updating its download experience on iOS. Music, podcasts and audiobooks can now continue downloading in the background after users leave the app. Download progress and completion notifications will be sent directly to users.
The functionality has already been available on Android and is now being extended to iPhone users.

Unlike major product launches, the latest update focuses on features that affect daily use of the platform. The changes do not alter Spotify's subscription plans or content offering.
Spotify addresses practical issues around playlist organisation, queue management and offline listening. For users with growing libraries and dozens of playlists, the update removes several small but persistent frustrations that have existed on the platform for years.
