[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.

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.

Its not as useful as the other tabs and takes up space

Terrible idea. I’m telling my friends not to update the app if they haven’t already. Removed this button please

As many have already stated, moving the position of the "library" button is inconvenient and annoying. I understand the team wants to give us a new look and to encourage us to use the "create" button. However, it has probably had an adverse effect. Since I often get frustrated that I have accidentally clicked on "create" (due to muscle memory), I have no desire to explore it's functionality. In fact, the more I click it, the more irrationally annoyed I become.

 

If you want to keep the "create" button, I would suggest giving users the ability to manually adjust/personalize the button order. The customization could add an additional layer of individuality to the Spotify platform which could in turn attract (or retain) more consumers. But whatever you do either move the "library" button back or allow us to move it individually.

It feels like this post becomes harder and harder to find everyday. Almost like Spotify is trying to suppress this.

Spotify seems to be ignoring us. I think I'll be switching to Apple Music.

Yet another update and this stupid new redundant create button is still there. 
We ALL need to start giving this app one star until they remove it. That’s nearly 1500 negative reviews if we all do it. Maybe they will listen to us then.

Mine has just appeared from an update and I absolutely can't stand it - as you said how often it is that people use the or would need a short cut in the navigation bar to create a playlist

Who comes up with these ideas? A brand new button that no-one wants stuck exactly where people are going to press it by accident.

Why is this idea not on the front page or not in the list of ongoing issues?

I can’t use “your library” normally because of how a recent update changed its placement. It’s supposed to be at the bottom right corner of the app, where “create” button is now forced upon me.

 

When will this be fixed? It’s an ongoing ISSUE. Not an idea. The app is unusable so it’s an ISSUE that should be fixed
