Spotify finally launches most-requested feature after years of feedback
▼ Summary
– Spotify is increasing the number of items users can pin in their library from 4 to 20.
– The expanded pinning feature is available to both free and paid users starting today with a global rollout.
– The change directly responds to years of user feedback requesting a higher pin limit.
– Apple Music previously introduced a similar pinning feature but with a fixed limit of six items.
– Spotify describes the update as a simple fix that provides users with more flexibility in their library.
Hot on the heels of a controversial disco ball icon update, Spotify is rolling out another user-driven improvement. Starting today, the streaming platform is finally addressing one of its most persistent requests: a major expansion of the pinning feature in users’ libraries.
Spotify has increased the pinned item limit from four to 20, a change that directly responds to years of feedback. For comparison, Apple Music introduced its own pinning system last summer with iOS 26, but capped it at just six items.
The company confirmed on Wednesday that both free and paid subscribers will see the new limit take effect immediately as part of a global rollout. This simple adjustment gives users far more control over organizing their favorite albums, playlists, artists, and podcasts.
Sometimes the most satisfying updates are the smallest ones. By doubling down on flexibility in the library, Spotify is proving that even minor tweaks can make a big difference in daily listening habits. The change officially went live on July 8, 2026.
