[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.

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.

It's faaaar more annoying than it is useful and i mean this with so much sincerity it just pisses me off. no one is making so many playlists that the menu needs this button. the button within the library more than suffices. give me back my library icon in the bottom right PLEAAAASE. PLSSS.

Glad to see that the a lot of members are in agreement with this opinion. 🫂

 

Hope it quickly gets resolved and doesn't go unnoticed on the forum! 🗣

I am literally considering switching my whole library to SoundCloud/Tidal if they won't immediately roll back

I am going with apple music or google play if this create tab is in my right corner by next week. This and the smart shuffle, trying to complicate one of those most simple fundamental functions in music listening makes me furious. Firing is not enough, whoevers incharge of UI should be chemically castrated.

Please remove the create button altogether. Im more than positive Ive been a premium subscriber for about 15 years now and this is by far the worst update. 

**I just got my Spotify data back, I been a subscriber for 13 years now. And in the last 13 years this is by far the worst update!!! I think I want to take my loyalty somewhere else at this point.

I just got the create button on my iPhone. Horrible horrible update. Please remove the „create“ bottom tab immediately!! I want the clean UI with 3 bottom tabs back. Don’t be stubborn with this Spotify!

it is literally unbelievable how dense the designers are. I have no idea how ideas like this get greenlit

I was looking for this post I’m not the only one thinking this implementation broke the ux.
