How do I turn off artist canvases without turning on data saver.
I hate the way it looks, and I really hate the auto play when I scroll.

Hi,

Thanks for trying to help, but that only turns off canvas for tracks not artists.

The artist canvas autoplays on the home screen when the app is opened and I scroll down (it also auto scrolls to put the next item at the top of the screen, which I find objectionable).

If I turn data saver on, the home page (artist canvas) doesn't auoplay, but it also reduces the audio quality to 24kb/s. Which is OK for podcasts but I prefer a higher bitrate for music.

These app design choices are incrementally making my experience worse, I'm looking at switching to deezer or some other provider because of them. Especially when I can't turn off auoplay, which really bugs me.
