• The media player for Google Android 13 has new buttons and icons.
• The album art in Spotify's media player on Android 13 is now larger.

The music and podcast streaming service Spotify has started pushing out support for the revamped media player in Android 13 for compatible devices via a stable update through the Google Play store. The lock screen and notification menu of the media player for Android devices have been redesigned in Android 13. 

The newest Android 13 media player has improved the location of the seek bar for simpler song control, revamped icons, and a taller frame for album image previews. In August of this year, Google announced the release of Android 13.

 This new iteration of Google's operating system includes a redesigned media player that is visible on the lock screen and notification menu. According to 9to5Google, Spotify appears to have updated its Android app to version 8.7.92.521, adding support for the new media player.
Through a previously disclosed beta update, Spotify first made the Android 13 media player compatibility available to users. Spotify version 8.7.92.521, which is available from the Play Store, now has support for the media player in the stable channel. The stop and play icons on the right of Android 13 smartphones are noticeably larger and easier to access than those on Android 12 devices. 

The next and previous track navigation buttons are located on either side of the seek bar, which is located at the bottom. On the new media player, there are also shuffle and heart buttons. It's hardly unexpected that Google apps like YouTube Music, YouTube, Google Podcasts, Chrome, Recorder, and Play Books were the first to support the Android 13 media player. 

The most recent stable version of Spotify 8.7.92.115 for Android, which supports the newly built Android 13 media player, is now available for download from the Play Store to users of eligible devices all around the world.
