[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 made sense within the "Your Library" page, and the three buttons for "Home", "Search", and "Your Library" was perfect! I can't stand the new "Create" button at the bottom

Dumbest UI change ever,  the average user is not creating playlists frequently enough to justify a dedicated create button. At least give us the option to disable it! My muscle memory keeps clicking that button every time I try to go to my library.

It’s so annoying, honestly I don’t understand how the Spotify team thought that was a good idea. It’s so freaking frustrating every time I try to open my library but instead it opens the Add menu. Hate it so much, please return it

Please revert this change. This messes up the muscle memory (of immediately clicking that button when opening the app) I've gained over the years

I don’t need help with anything, but wanted pass on some feedback (something I have actually gone to the lengths of doing). I think that the most recent update that was pushed out which has moved the library button across and replaced it with a create playlist button is a really poor change, and super unintuitive. There’s no need for there to be a quick access button for playlists and now I am constantly hitting the wrong buttons.

Yes, I second all of the above. REMOVE this asap please, it makes no sense. At the very least, let us rearrange things or delete it altogether. No one uses it and it makes no sense.

Please move the Library back to the bottom right location - 'or' make it actually customizable so I do not need to use useless features 🙂

this is very annoying. either remove the create button or move it closer to the center. Everyone is used to the library button being to the right most option.
