Music streaming service @Spotify today announced via its official blog that it has submitted a new update for its iPhone client to Apple for approval.
The new update which should be approved in the next 7 days (according to Steve) will allow users to take their music into the background of iOS, allowing the app to function while closed.
This feature has been widely requested by Spotify Premium users for a while now, and while the company didn’t have the update ready for the debut of iOS4 last Monday, the update has finally been submitted with the functionality in tact.
We know that many of you have been waiting for an update to our iPhone app that supports the latest iOS 4 and background listening. We’re happy to say that an updated app has been submitted to Apple for review. Hopefully we’ll get a speedy approval and to make up for the extra little wait time we’ve added a nice little surprise to make Spotify mobile even more exciting for you, stay tuned!
We’ll be sure to let you know when it hits the store!
