Spotify has introduced a new feature called Discover that displays a stream of vertical videos.
@chrismessina discovered the feature in an iOS Spotify TestFlight build and alerted the community. Reports claim this is connected to Canvas, a feature that allows artists and bands to replace static album art with dynamic videos.
Not only that, @Spotify Discover is basically a pared down version of a TikTok-style feed of vertical music videos (likely using their canvas format) that you can like or skip.#NewSpotify pic.twitter.com/hpOEZ8v9bl

Clips can be viewed by swiping through them and clicking the heart button, which mimics TikTok’s design. Spotify was asked about this new feature by TechCrunch, but they didn’t seem interested in responding. We’ll have to wait and see if the feature ever makes it to live servers. Stay tuned for more information.
