Android users can now rearrange Spotify playlists via the app. Towards the end of last month, Spotify finally confirmed that the ability to rearrange playlists would finally be coming to its Android app, thus opening up the feature to millions of users across the globe. And today, that feature finally appears to be available. Instead of issuing a new update to the Spotify Android App, the streaming service seems to have activated the change via a server-side modification, which means users.

Aside from paying a flat rate for basically unlimited music every month and having the ability to download the app to any smartphone, one of Spotify's main draws is how easy it is to create and curate playlists.

Creating the covers for those playlists is a slightly different story. Some Spotify users have been openly critical of how the streaming music service's playlist cover selection works.

When you're creating a playlist, the cover automatically becomes a collage of the art for the playlist's first four songs. Spotify's desktop site lets you manually replace the cover so long you have rights to the image you want to upload. But on the mobile app for Android, the only way to change it is to rearrange your playlist's opening tracks.

If you don't mind having to switch the tracks in the first four positions of your playlist now and then, here's how Android users can change their Spotify playlist covers on the desktop and their mobile phones.

How to change a playlist cover on the SpotifyAndroid app

1. Open the Spotify app.

2. Select the playlist you want to rearrange.

3. In the top right corner of your playlist screen, tap the three vertical dots.

4. Choose 'Edit playlist.'

5. A list of tracks will appear. To move a song to a different position on the list, press and hold the horizontal lines icon to the right of the song's title.

6. Drag up and down to reposition the track in or outside of the first four spots on your playlist.
