How do I swipe to remove a song from a playlist? (like Liked Songs)

There used to be a way I could swipe to simply delete a song from a playlist. Now I have to click ... and then tap a few more times to remove it.

This gets cumbersome and repetitive fast.

Is there a simpler way?

Hey there @pj17k_bfh-ovh,

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome.

We think that'd be a great idea, that's why we'd suggest you submit an idea in which you describe what you'd like to see implemented on the app once again. You can find out how to post your suggestion here.

Take into account it’s better if you describe with as many details as possible what you want to see implemented on the app. Don't forget to check for existing ideas first. Make sure to follow our Idea Exchange Guidelines so your suggestion will be approved more quickly and smoothly.

We hope you found this helpful. We're always here to help.

@AlejaR Thanks for your reply. So there's NO way to do this right now?

From what I could find, it looks like there ONCE WAS a way to do it... but it was axed somewhere along the way?

In other words, swiping to REMOVE a song DID work before.

Any idea why it was taken out?

Hi there @pj17k_bfh-ovh,

Thanks for the post.

The Spotify app changes over time. Our developers are constantly testing new ways to improve the user experience, which involves removing, adding, or changing features.

We can't say for sure why the swipe-away function has been removed or if it will be reintroduced to the app.

We've made sure to pass your feedback about this on to the right folks at Spotify.

Cheers.
