Spotify introduces M1 support in update to beta app

---

Spotify has released a new version of its beta app for macOS with full support for Apple Silicon. The app will run on M1 Macs without the Rosetta 2 emulation layer, that optimises Intel-based applications for the new architecture. The beta software brings optimisations specifically for M1-based Macs, and should feature improved performance. Spotify says it will make changes based on feedback from users.

We have been working hard backstage on this and are happy to announce that we now have a Beta version of our app available with M1 chip support. It features many compatibility improvements and optimizations for the new Apple architecture. — Spotify

Spotify warns that there may be some “unexpected behavior” with the beta version of the app — as is usually the case with beta releases. It encourages users to submit feedback that could help improve the app.
