My Question or Issue

I can no longer add a playlist to the home screen. However, existing links on my home screen still work. When I click on the "three dots" option on a playlist the "add to home screen" option is no longer available; however, this does seem to be available for individual albums.

Hey folks,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

We've checked with the relevant team here at Spotify and they've confirmed that this feature has been deprecated. If you feel strongly about bringing it back, make sure to vote for this idea and subscribe to the thread to receive notifications about any new developments on the subject.

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

We've reached out to our tech folks who have confirmed that with the deprecation of this feature, the ability to add albums to your Home screen, as well as the Recently Played items that used to pop up when long-pressing the app have also been retired.

The aforementioned workaround is no longer functional, so for the time being it's best you head to the idea about bringing this feature back and showing your support.

The Community is always here if there's anything else you need assistance with.

Thankyou! Gotta love it when users figure out a way to do what the developers can't be bothered with.

My Question or Issue

I recently (stupidly) deleted a long-standing playlist shortcut from my homescreen and tried to add it back, to find that the option no longer exists??

I found a work around that lets me add playlist to homescreen (long press spotify and add playlist from there) but it doesn't automatically start playing when I tap the shortcut like it used to?

Any way to do this? Why was this feature removed? This is such a nuisance, Spotify devs help. Please atleast send me a url for autoplaying a playlist so I can use the shortcut maker app.

This does not seem to work anymore weather for albums. At least not on Samsung one ui7. So disappointing. This was a good way to manage albums I needed to check out or play in high rotation.
