The icon wasn\u2019t exactly the hit Spotify would have hoped for \u2014 rather, it was widely disliked. Thankfully, it wasn\u2019t supposed to replace the original icon permanently either. So, it\u2019s going away, and those who didn\u2019t quite like it can now pretend it never really existed.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify on iOS recently reverted to the usual app icon, almost a month after the disco ball was first spotted. The transition actually comes later than Spotify had promised \u2014 the logo was originally supposed to disappear before the end of May, as Spotify confirmed. That obviously led to frustration among users who didn\u2019t appreciate it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Screenshot 2026 06 12 at 1.11.47\u202fPM\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM.png 1092w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM-64w-53h.png 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM-1000w-833h.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM-1037w-864h.png 1037w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM-456w-380h.png 456w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM-675w-563h.png 675w\" alt=\"spotify disco ball icon hate\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-12-at-1.11.47-PM.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Neowin was among the first ones to notice the change, and we were able to verify it on our devices.
