Spotify has introduced a new feature that allows users to disable almost all videos in their app, allowing them to focus on audio rather than distractions. The move is part of a wider effort to make the app less distracting and more focused on audio. The new controls include a disable music videos, a separate Canvas, and a control for vertical videos and creator videos, which will play as audio-only if toggled. The update will be implemented globally.
