Looking through Spotify\u2019s recent 9.1.22.645 update, we can see a few newly added text strings that pretty clearly reference a music-guessing game:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_f\">\n<div class=\"e_6t\" style=\"max-width:675px\"><picture class=\"e_Fh\" style=\"padding-top:44.89%;aspect-ratio:675 \/ 303\"><source sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess.jpg.webp 1057w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess-64w-29h.jpg.webp 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess-1000w-448h.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess-675w-303h.jpg.webp 675w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"spotify music guess\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess.jpg 1057w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess-64w-29h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess-1000w-448h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess-675w-303h.jpg 675w\" alt=\"spotify music guess\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/spotify-music-guess.jpg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"e_Yv e_7t\">\n<p>AssembleDebug \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_S\">\n<p>At this stage, that\u2019s really the sum of the evidence that we have \u2014 we haven\u2019t yet uncovered any visual assets associated with this game, and don\u2019t seem to be able to get the app to offer us an early look at the gameplay in action. But while that\u2019s disappointing, we\u2019re still jazzed at the idea that Spotify seems to be thinking of adding a mode like this to its app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_S\">\n<p>Could there be a social component that lets you compete with your friends to name songs first in head-to-head play? Or maybe just leaderboards for showing off your high score? There are plenty of different ways Spotify could go with this, and what we ultimately get may end up very different from Heardle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_S\">\n<p>Hopefully we\u2019ll be able to dig up further progress towards this feature in future Spotify updates, because we still have plenty of questions about how this game might work. And any opportunity we might get along the way to show off our own music-recognition chops would only be a bonus!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f<\/strong> An <strong>APK teardown<\/strong> helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code.
