[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.

The new update added a create feature button on the bottom right and moved the library button over. The library button is way more functional and easier to get to if it is on the bottom. Please switch it back to the right corner.

Spotify I’ve been a satisfied premium subscriber for 8+ years. 

 

I don’t complain about something so trivial but I’m taking time out of my day to do just that. 

 

For almost a decade my thumb has gone to bottom right of my screen to my “Your Library” button. This change in location has thrown off my day and possibly my Spotify user experience if it continues. I ask you to reconsider this change.

Remove it! Or else 👊🏼

10000% yes to this idea. It’s messing with my muscle memory.

I cant stand the new create tab added to the far right of the interface. Changing the order of the tabs really upset me because it was a habit to click all the way to the right for my library. This change seems unneeded and just a way for you guys to get people to make more playlist. Should be an option to customize the order or something, not changing the interface that's been there for years.

Hey @mrppotts,

 

We’re closing this idea since it doesn’t meet one of our Idea Exchange guidelines, namely “Making sure your idea is clear”.

 

At this point, we don’t have enough information regarding what you'd like to see implemented.

 

Feel free to submit a new idea - just make sure to familiarize yourself with the above guidelines.

 

Thanks!

at least 5 years of having the library button be in the same spot, only for it to be switched up with something I don't ever use (unlike the Library button). It was like when the not interested button got swapped, I constantly accidentally click not interested on songs unknowingly. Your interface works, it doesn't need improvement, or worse, useless musical chairs with the buttons.

This addition is completely useless considering the drastic difference between how often most users click the library tab vs how often users create anything. Cannot fathom who thought it would be a good idea to change something which has been intuitive and useful for years.

Please Remove The Create Button. Or at least move it, that spot should always be the library. Not only is it the easiest to reach but we have years of muscle memory using that spot. I access my playlists regularly, I don't regularly make them. I imagine this is the case for most people. So accessing playlists should be faster. Maybe make a fancier create button in the top right corner if you want to entice people to make blend and ai playlists. Or even just swap Library to the right of Create, it would just feel more natural.

Agreed. It feels like they're just trying to push us to use their new AI playlist button. Which...I'm not going to do because I've literally perfected the way I make playlists and their so will probably be just as bad as their discover weekly.

 

Accidentally put this in tags at first. Hope the tags get deleted aha
