My Question or Issue

Hi!
Is the touch preview finally killed on the server side or is it a problem with my device? I was using 8.4.13 version of Spotify app for a few years now, as it was the last one to support touch preview. Recently I found out it doesn’t work, holding a song mute current playing one but it won’t play the one you try to preview.

Is there anyone who loved this feature as much as I do? Is it still working for you or Spotify disabled it permanently :(? It was my favorite feature ever, and I know what I’m saying because I use Spotify since closed beta in 2009 :).

Hey @wiatrp1, welcome to the Community.

Hope you're doing great!

Unfortunately that feature is not present anymore on the iOS app.

I'd suggest adding your support here.

Thanks and take care 🙂

Good news!

It's not Touch Preview, but it's very similar.

In the mobile app, you can now go into a playlist, album, or artist and you will see a little icon next to the play button. Once you tap on it, you can swipe through a feed that plays you quick previews of each song. Give it a try!

It is also rolling out now in the desktop app, so you should be seeing it there soon as well.
