Spotify changed its iOS app icon from a disco ball back to the prior design on Thursday. The company had introduced the glitter-themed icon to highlight its 20th anniversary and related listening-history features. Those features included the date users joined, total songs played, first songs listened to, and most-streamed artists presented as playlists.
The company stated on May 17 that the altered icon would end soon. The return to the original icon occurred nearly a month later. Some technology websites reported that the delay may have resulted from a larger iOS app update.
The disco ball icon drew criticism on social media.
The company replied that the design was temporary and that the standard icon would return. Personalized anniversary content continued to be shared by users who viewed the listening-history playlists.
