MOVE THE HIDE SONG BUTTON

sarcasmduchess — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 15:53:36 GMT

SPOTIFY DEVELOPERS: When listening to the Song Radio, can you please please PLEASE move the "Hide Song" button DOWN so that it's NOT at the top of the list. You guys must have just put in this feature because I've managed to hide (and subsequently skip) every song I've liked on the radio every time I go to add it to a playlist. The "Add to Playlist" feature was always at the top of the list, and I LOVED it that way! No muss, no fuss! But now I keep skipping my songs and have to go and Un-Hide all my favourite songs... Please, you wonderful spotify developers - you've done an incredible job for all the years I've been using spotify, you keep it sharp and working well on every device I've had and haven't let me down yet. So please, for the love of all that is holy in this world and beyond, will you PLEASE move that FREAKING button down the bottom of the list where it belongs?? You would have my eternal gratitude.

Seriously though, thank you for all that you guys do! Stay safe out there eh! 🙂

Yes please, I came here to say exactly this. I just updated my Spotify and this is *so* annoying and such a terrible place to put that button. I’ve used Spotify for years, my muscle memory of how to add son I like quickly on the go relies on the buttons staying in the same place. Please. Do not. Move. The buttons.

Thank you.

So annoying! Why would I even need to hide a song if the playlist is curated for me? Much more likely I want to add it to a playlist.

I totally agree, I don't understand why you move those critical buttons; like the 3 vertical dots, they were fine at the bottom, right next to the control buttons, it was handy to click on the heart and then add it to a playlist...

Yes. I specifically googled this simply because I wanted to see if I was the only one that had the same problem. Evidently not.. hope the devs listen to this and move the hide song button down lower on the menu 👍👍

please please please at least give us the option to move "Hide Song" to the bottom of the "..." options on mobile

Re: MOVE THE HIDE SONG BUTTON

huntc99 — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 02:55:54 GMT

THIS X10000000000. PLEEEEEASE. you should at least have to scroll down on the "..." menu before "hide song" appears, if not put the option at the bottom of the menu. how is putting "hide song" right under "like song" conducive to user engagement

Why place a "hide song" button right next to the most used button "next track" in discover weekly!!! ?

Basically you put "delete song" button next to most used button on spotify.

And the best placement to reach on the whole screen.

Why edit discover weekly.. it will be gone next week.

You use discover weekly to discover new songs you might want to add to a playlist. "Rock" "summer 2022" "February 2022" so an "add to last created playlist" might be better.

Why paint a hotel room you only stay a week?

treemom — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 18:15:23 GMT

this is totally wild, I bet the metadata for button use does NOT support the hide button being the top button. and why would you put it right next to the "add to playlist" and "save song" buttons! especially when hitting hide song has such dramatic ramifications... you lose, and skip, the song you were trying to save! really can't believe this is still the feature after 2+ years.

jwf6464 — Fri, 19 May 2023 12:30:16 GMT

Yes I agree. I have accidentally hidden dozens of songs that I like now and sometimes I don't even realize I've done it so I guess I won't ever hear those songs again and what a shame because I LIKE them.

tdawg227 — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 10:13:15 GMT

How has this still not been fixed? How often does someone want to hide a song over adding to the queue? The same applies to removing from a playlist - how often are those user flows being expected to be utilized so much so that they deserve the highest placement in the menu??? This is objectively terrible design. Objectively. How much money was spent designing this layout that makes no sense…
