[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.

Seriously, why would you move the main buttons and make them smaller and put a completely unnecessary create button there?! 

OGKMC

Yes, exactly. Why did they change this?! I can see many users are having the same feeling about this.

When they made it clear they were serious about podcasts back in 2020 I expected to see the UI become more user friendly but nothing really changed, if anything it got worse and they completely dropped the ball. 

The new Create button is such a step in the wrong direction, from a user experience perspective I can't think of any good reason for this. 

This is the Spotify equivalent of the Luka Doncic trade

Can you idiotic, moronic, brain dead app developers go learn what MUSCLE MEMORY IS?

 

do I have to boycott your company again? 

CHANGE IT BACK

This "feature" is garbage, and whoever came up with it should step into a puddle of water with socks on. Makes me wonder what grand new idea they'll come up with next that we'll be forced to get used to.

I honestly don’t know why this has been added, get it removed from the dock

please just remove that extra button. it was perfect before and you can add those extra buttons at the bottom of the library

one of the worst changes ever in the app, genuinely annoyed with it

Jesseriggins

AGREED! What a joke. First thing I thought was wth is this? When I opened Spotify to listen earlier and muscle memory brought me to the bottom right.. 99% of the time you just want to open your library and start something real fast because… it’s a music app. Who wants to spend time going though all these silly features when you are only there to listen to stuff

NEW UI IS TERRIBLE. WHY would you put this on the main tabs at the bottom!!! Not only is this where the library has been for so long that I keep clicking it by accident, but I just do not use the create function enough for it to be useful there! All of the "create" buttons were already on the library page which was a perfect place for them considering how often I use them (which is almost never.) PLEASE CHANGE THIS BACK AND HIRE SOMEONE TO DO UI THAT ACTUALLY USES SPOTIFY
