I’ve waited 15 years for this: Spotify is finally fixing this major mobile playlist headache

A picture of a Pixel 7a with the Spotify app pulled up on a pink desk mat. .

There are two types of Spotify users: Those with meticulously organized playlists and those who throw everything they listen to under "liked songs" and call it a day. I'm part of the first camp, and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve opened my Spotify app, looked at my wall of playlists, and just... given up. It's like a digital junk drawer of tracks that I can never seem to find when I actually need them.

You can organize your library into Playlist folders, a feature added back in 2010, but it's exclusive to desktop and Spotify's web player. If you're listening on mobile and want to tweak things, you're SOL. That could soon change, though. According to a new leak, Spotify is reportedly bringing playlist folders to the mobile app, and honestly? It’s long overdue.
