Corroborating our report, Spotify on Wear OS now comes with a gesture-based navigation system.<\/p>\n<p>Users can swipe down on the app\u2019s landing screen to enter an immersive view with large album art. A single tap on this screen plays or pauses the music, and a double tap skips to the next track.<\/p>\n<p>Users can swipe up on the landing screen to access discovery-based features such as Home, Search, Your Library, and Downloads, to browse and start playing new content. The landing screen also lets users manage their playback queue, set a sleep timer, or access the expanded context menu.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify says the new update will be rolling out over the coming days. Users must ensure they\u2019re on the latest version of the Spotify on Wear OS app from the Google Play Store to receive the new experience. The company is also promising more improvements on Wear OS in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
