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

marcoslaporte8_1-1729535408614.png

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.

Hey folks!

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange.

We're setting this one to ‘Implemented’. Check out the steps here to learn how to hide and display the Create button.

 

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better, by participating here on the Community.

If you don’t see this yet, we continuously test and refine features to give users even more control of their Spotify experience so your friends still might see something you don’t. Rest assured, we'll let the team know about your thoughts on this. You can continue to let us know what you think here in Community.

the new settings to turn off + button on nav bar appears at [my profile icon click -> settings -> contents and display -> + button toggle on the bottom of the list]. I successfully removed via that menu.

I agree. The create button can remain in “your library”, the default ui was just okay the way it was.

Default ui is way better. It should be changed back and kept that way.

Making the three buttons I use smaller to add a button I will literally never use. There could just be an option to hide it, but of course there isn't. Hate hate hate

Put me on this team fr. This create button**bleep** and genuinely no one has ever asked for this. Genuinely what**bleep** thought anyone needed this. And on top of all this, MOVING THE KEY BUTTONS OVER?!?!?!? Genuinely fire this team and get someone who actually uses Spotify. 

Spotify is an everyday app for millions of people and muscle memory is key here for users. The most unqualified UI employees on this team fr and they made the most stupidest decisions. Moving the most commonly used buttons is actually diabolical. 

 

Also there’s no need to shove AI into this at all. Every senseless corporate company is shoving AI into everything for no reason. Yall don’t need to be like them, it’s a music app. We know how to make playlists.

Please remove it or at least give us the option to remove it.

The library is much more important, this is backwards UX design.

Please remove this button Spotify. Even as an avid playlist creator, I despise this change enough to go online and say something about it. At least make the bar customizable to where you satisfy everybody. Don’t care if it’s still the default, just as long as I can get to my playlists without looking.

Yall need to hire a whole new UI team because the dumb dumbs clearly don’t know what they’re doing. Genuinely super unqualified individuals if they thought moving the key buttons was a good move for a stupid button that I’m sure most people won’t use. No one is creating a playlist daily, but I can assure you, people click on their playlist library every single day, multiple times a day. 

Literally look at user heat maps, speak to your analytics team, you can see what buttons users use the most, this was such an insane decision. Those original buttons were there for a reason in the first place.

 

Get rid of that button. Also you do not need that button twice on the playlists page. Genuinely the stupidest people are working on this team.
