After rolling out a new UI for its desktop app recently, Spotify has now released a mini-player for Facebook. This new mini-player comes as an extension of Spotify’s social sharing features that lets users share songs and music videos to social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Coming to the mini-player, it resides inside the Facebook app on iOS and Android and works as an automatic media player for users while they scroll through their news feed. Once a user starts playing a song or a video using a Spotify link on Facebook, the media will start playing on the new mini-player and allow users to discover more such content on Spotify right from within Facebook.
Now, the mini-player sits at the bottom of the screen with a platter of media-control buttons. It sits right there and you can continue to scroll through the news feed and continue playing content based on the initial link.
Spotify is currently rolling out the mini-player for Facebook in only 27 countries. This includes Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, Uruguay, and the U.S.
