December 2020 Ideas Review

[Xenia]

Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board and highlights the statuses we’ve updated in the past 30 days.

Below you can find the statuses changed last month. For more information read: Idea Exchange: How does my feedback reach Spotify?

IMPLEMENTED:

1. Clear play queue

We're happy to announce that we have implemented the Clear queue feature on our mobile app.

Just open the queue and you should see the Clear all button at the top

2. Downloaded podcasts should also play videos not just audio

We've now rolled out the ability to download video content for offline viewing for iOS and Android users.

This will be the new default setting, but you can easily toggle it off in the app settings to only save audio when downloading video podcasts.

 

GOOD IDEA:

3. [Android] Bring back swipe down to search / filter

4. Option to customize Your Daily Drive

5. Ads Filter

NOT RIGHT
NOW:

6. Spotify In Armenia 

7. Make "Liked Songs" playlist shareable

Still no sign for two-factor authentication.

Been under consideration for 2 years now. I have been hacked twice and would prefer not to be hacked again...

There are a few "new ideas" (they're really months old, one is even two years old) that have hundreds and even thousands of votes, and yet @spotify refuses to address them. There are deep flaws that make Spotify almost unplayable for tens of thousands of users. Every other major music streaming service supports Airplay 2 and native HomePod support, but Spotify sits on the sidelines and does nothing, requiring us to go and vote to have that support added. And even when we vote overwhelmingly in support of it, we get nothing in return. Very frustrating.

I think the option to view track lists of albums and artists songs should be reintroduced for free users as it makes it extremely difficult to make playlists by trying to find songs through shuffle play.

I really think a live chat for group sessions would be nice. its kind of annoying to have to use a different platform to chat with someone when you're already connected through Spotify.

I would like the option to segregate my release radar into more than one playlist every Friday. I would like to be able to assign each act I follow to list A or B etc and then I would get 2 (or more) playlists of music every Friday of acts that I like grouped together in a way which is more pleasing for me to listen to. This would be much more beneficial for me than the Daily Mix playlists that you generate that I never listen to.
