[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.

Hire me to tell your app developers that the terrible ideas they come up are trash. 

they need GUIDANCE.

 

they are OUT OF TOUCH with humanity.

Awful, awful update. Hate it.

Yes!!! I want to remove the "Create +" button in the bottom right. The bottom right corner is how I access my library.

It’s literally dangerous to change something like this. I used to be able to navigate to a playlist while driving without looking at my phone because of muscle memory and now you changed the Library button location? Absolutely not. Put it back please. I’m begging you.

This is such a bad change. The only reason you made this change is because you knew this would be disruptive. It’s in the place it currently is because people are used to the library button there, and nobody would press it unless they were trying to click library. The reason you want them to accidentally click Create is so they might click the AI Playlist feature that presumably not enough people are using

 

Please just make good software. Stop trying to make the metrics for your unused, sunk-cost AI-branded feature look better at the expense of just making good software.

Please I’m begging, this is horrible UX

It sucks, the developers suck. The only positive change to the app is can recall is the discover music part. Everything else has been an enormous ballache and only made things worse.

I always tap it by mistake and I hate it.

Please, like other commenters have said, at least let this be a toggleable option. I will never be using this button, and have years of muscle memory for the previous layout.
