Open Spotify on your smartphone
We’ll be demonstrating using the iOS Spotify app, however the steps are similar when using the Android app.

Follow the on-screen introduction
When you first open the option to create your own cover art, you’ll be shown an introduction to the feature. Click Next on each screen once you’ve read the on-screen information.
Step

Begin designing
Here you’ll find options at the bottom panel to: add and customise text, add images from your photo library, add pre-installed stickers and change the background colour too.
Step

Tap Save
Once you’re happy with your design, tap Save in the top right corner.

Tap the green Save button

While you can’t edit your cover art, you can create a new one instead at any time.
