Spotify is testing a TikTok-like video feed

Spotify has confirmed that is testing a new feature in its app, Discover, which presents a vertical feed of music videos that users can scroll through. We could say that the company is testing a new TikTok-style video feed in its beta iOS app.

The new addition was first spotted by Chris Messina, who tweeted out a video of the Discover feature in action. Messina found the feature in Spotify’s TestFlight build (TestFlight is the iOS way for developers to release beta versions). Discover is available as a new tab in the app UI. Users can swipe vertically to navigate between the clips and can hit the heart button to like a clip.

When TechCrunch asked Spotify about the Discover feature, the company said that this is only a test to see if there is any merit in the concept, meaning that Discover may be axed before it gets a wide release.
