- Spotify's Running Mode is now available on Android, expanding the workout-focused playback feature beyond its previous platform availability.
- Spotify also unveiled Playlist Notes, a feature letting users and editors explain the reasoning behind their song picks, alongside a separate new personalization feature that the source notes does not involve AI.
- Spotify itself published a guide titled "How to Get the Most Out of Running Mode," indicating the company is actively onboarding users to the workout feature.
Why it matters: The Android rollout puts Running Mode in the hands of a much larger smartphone user base, while Spotify's parallel launches of Playlist Notes and a non-AI personalization feature show the streamer rounding out its fitness and curation tools in one push.
