Many app companies - such as Twitter and Facebook - Test such features many months before rolling them out to all users, and Some Tests never get released.
Spotify told Techcrunch That it was not formally announcing the new feature.
" At Spotify, we routinely conduct A Number of tests in an effort to improve our User Experience , " a spokesperson said.
" Some of those tests end up paving The Way for our broader User Experience and others serve only as an important learning. We don't have any further news to share at This Time . "
TikTok's vertical-scrolling video format has been repeatedly copied since the Chinese-owned app burst on to The Scene in 2016, and has exploded in popularity in recent years.
YouTube has an experimental version named Shorts, Instagram has introduced a similar feature called Reels, and Snapchat has added Spotlight. Other apps with similar features as their central pillar include Byte and Triller.
