Here’s how you can access the new Spotify widget:

• Update the Spotify app to version 8.5.80 or later
• Open the app
• Then, tap and hold the widget or an empty area of the home screen until the app icon jiggles
• Tap the plus sign in the top right corner
• Tap on the Spotify in the list, and select the size of the widget

The Home Screen widgets require iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 or later. The widget only serves as a shortcut to various parts of the Spotify app as Apple doesn’t allow the Home Screen widgets to add playback controls due to battery life considerations.
