Spotify threw a disco-themed surprise for its 20th birthday, but not everyone was ready to boogie. The app recently swapped its classic green icon for a flashy disco ball, causing quite a stir among users.
The festive icon was meant to be a fun, temporary change to mark the streaming service’s two-decade milestone. However, many users were caught off guard, not realizing it was just a celebratory tweak. Spotify has been busy reassuring its users via social media that the disco ball is only a temporary gig and the original icon will be back this week.
This isn’t the first time an app has shaken things up for a birthday bash. Remember when Instagram rolled out a bunch of icon options for its anniversary? Just like Instagram, Spotify’s playful nod to its history is wrapping up soon. While some loved the sparkle, others prefer their app icons to match their home screen aesthetic. Imagine if more apps took a page from Spotify’s book and offered optional celebratory icons!
Keep an eye on your Spotify app this week as it returns to its classic green look. Meanwhile, check out how Spotify is embracing new tech to keep the streaming experience fresh.
