[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.

  Agreed. Also why did they even add a create there when it is already at the top of the library page.
  I vote for an eq button and the ability to save multiple user eqs.

Please: 

Remove it,

Give us the option to remove it, or

Move it so that it’s not the most right-aligned menu option in the bar.

Agreed this change to moving buttons was not needed! Change it back.

Yup. Terrible design. Just takes up space. I have a TON of playlists and even I only create maybe a few a month. The button on the library screen is plenty. I do not need it on my navigation bar.

Please update this to not look like this it is wildly inconvenient

PLEASE. At least let us have the option to rearrange the icons. It’s such an unnecessary addition. I swear Spotify is always coming up with new ways to make things worse in every update.

why you changed the place of "library" it was on the right below corner. now there is "make a playlist" option and i think it is unnecessary and unuseful. because we always use our library but we wouldnt make a playlist every single time we open spotify. i am very dissapointed, please change it to the old version
