[Mobile] Get rid of 'Create' button on mobile navigation bar

Submitted by on ‎2024-10-21 07:27 PM
Status: Implemented

I recently got the last update, and found that a fourth button was added to the bottom navbar. What's the point of this? It's in the way of entering 'Your Library' section, as this was the default spot for that button.

Besides that, does it really need to have a shortcut? How often do people create new playlists or blends? There's already a button for that in 'Your Library', so...

I think removing this button will improve UI.

The UI/UX team must be bored. Did no one think this through?

I can't fathom the level of incompetence of Spotify UI team. Whoever thought about it, clearly doesn't use the app.

They should fix this and quit fixing stuff that isn't broken.

Truly awful addition. Let me remove this.

Please let me at least disable this button. Horrible interference with muscle memory, quick access to library and especially the home button, since I can barely reach that one now without stretching my thumb uncomfortably. 

Aesthetically questionable as well.

Completely agree. It’s annoying and shouldn’t be there.

Please remember that I PAY YOU. Do not make choices that are anti user. Delete this garbage create button from the home bar. Remember what the bottom bar is: a bar for the most used actions. The most prominent is the bottom right; it’s next to the thumb. What’s a more common action: playing saved music, or saving new music? I’m going to guess that 100% of your users play saved music at a rate of thousands of times the amount that they make new playlists. Therefore, the create button should NOT take that spot.
