There's a pretty big accessibility issue with the new Spotify player (for me, at least) (self.Blind)
submitted by KaiDoesStuff
Spotify recently released an update that changed the appearance of the in-app player. I'm estimating that this update rolled out around the 8.4.90 or 8.4.91 versions for iOS.
The biggest thing I dislike is that Spotify's new player makes it much harder to see the elapsed time of whatever you're listening to. $1
The old white bar has been replaced by a much fainter grey bar, which has caused significantly more eyestrain for me.
I wanted to post this to see if anyone else might have this issue. I'll be sending feedback to Spotify about the issues I've been having as of late.
**Edit**: The collapsed smaller player doesn't have this issue. You can see it $1.

Wow, as a sighted person, those greys are barely distinguishable. Anyone with low brightness wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

If there isn't 60% contrast, then chances are plenty of people will have the same issue. Don't hesitate, send an email through to Spotify with your feedback.

Yep, I noticed this a little while ago. Wasn't particularly happy about it either.

No issues with spotify voice over works well. My ownly issue is not being able to find a way to link Last.fm to spotify. I think they’re doing nothing wrong.

This thread discusses a new visual design update on the platform. I think you may have read the title and not the body of the post.
