[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.

It’s the same button, twice on the same page. Listen to your users and stop sabotaging the app. 
Remove the bottom one!

This was only a recent update in the US but the thread was created last Oct.  Doesn’t seem like there’s any chance of this stupid nonsensical change being rolled back.

Hi Spotify team and community,

 

I’m writing to give some feedback on the new “+” (Create) button in the bottom-right corner of the Library screen. Honestly, it’s pretty annoying — especially because there’s already a “Create” button at the top of the screen.

 

Having two identical buttons for the same thing just clutters the UI. It takes up space and isn’t helpful, especially for users who don’t create playlists often.

 

Please consider:
• Giving users an option to hide or disable the bottom “+” button
• Or just removing it — the top button is enough

 

Thanks!

This is an awful UX choice. Please let us disable it.

This has been driving me nuts and is making it likely I’ll switch to Apple Music once my current membership expires that doesn’t have things like this.

 

At least give us the option to toggle it! This new button has been there for weeks and weeks now and I still constantly accidentally click it. It does not make it more likely I’ll create a playlist. I hope the Spotify team is not just looking at the number of clicks on this button and thinking it’s a great success! 99% of those clicks are accidental and cause so much frustration!

 

It’s nuts how much this small change has soured my view of Spotify and the app.

Honestly the new UI for the app is absolutely terrible. 

 

Change it ack to the old one. 

 

I simply do not need the 'create new playlist' in the bottom right hand corner. 

 

This sucks. 

 

Remove it.
