[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.

Yes, please put it back on the corner, it’s so frustrating to click on it’s usual spot, only to have the create a playlist option pop up

Spotify added this plus button beside the library button at the bottom that does the exact same thing as the plus at the top in the library menu, it is in the way and I think should be removed.

this latest update on the iOS app is rough. Hoping it’s a test. I definitely don’t need a create button in the bottom nav. I’m not creating playlists nearly enough to warrant it getting its own tab. I get Spotify wants push AI but it just feels so forced. Happily would return to the home, search, library we know and love.

Why did they even add this? Creating a playlist is a once a month or less type activity, why waste core UI space on something so context specific?
