[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.

It’s honestly impressive how Spotify manages to make the UI worse with every single change.

 

Do you deliberately hire the worst UX people? Do you just not care?

**bleep** please. Just let me remove it. This is very frustrating. Ruining my day. I’m using Spotify all day long and now it’s a nightmare.

Most useless & annoying thing I've seen in spotify

No app in existence has ever put a "create" button in the bottom right corner. There is nothing intuitive about this new design. It is just the final straw in the last few years of destroying this app experience simply to make something "different". These are useless changes, NOT improvements.

Agree 1000000%

I’m someone who rarely goes out of their way to complain, so for me to actively seek out both a chat agent and forums/the community is saying a lot. That being said the reason why I came was to complain in every possible way about the new update where, on mobile devices, the library button (which has always been in the bottom right corner) was suddenly moved over and replaced by a stupid create button where the app clearly has one already in the top :/. I’m not pleased when out of MUSCLE MEMORY, (yea i’ve used spotify for years for it to be that engraved in my brain), I reach to click the far right bottom to access my library and it instead pops up with how I can create new playlists (also kindly get rid of everything AI or you’ll become the next duolingo (hated with passion). The lack of consideration of your millions of users and their money that funds the developers salary to create/agree to whatever this is very greedy (it’s not a pretty look Spotify). I’m literally not kidding this better be changed back or I’m filing a complaint with my bank to refund my premium fee and canceling because this is not what I pay for to listen to music seamlessly. So kindly listen to the audience and gives us back an enjoyable app because you’ve already tested my patience’s with a terrible Wrapped last year.

I genuinely hesitated to open the app today because I knew the knew I’d accidentally click the create button and get mad. I am surprised this made it through use testing and into the app, truly a simple change that ruined the experience.

Please remove it Spotify I'm begging you this is in no way useful I don't want to make an AI playlist ever

I've never been this annoyed and upset about an update. To me, it comes off as a way to promote their Beta AI spotify playlist creating feature. Thanks for moving like my most used button.

I keep pressing the create button and I’m about to throw my phone through a wall
