[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.

Yes. Most stupid button!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡

it disrupts muscle memory and is completely redundant as there's already a create button in the top right corner

This is an online platform, how can it take so long to correct it?!

Absolutely garbage thinking by whoever determined the button to create Playlists is more important than the literal library you use to play music or the search button. Can't believe it wasn't ALREADY integrated in the most recent update where I was given this really crappy feature after I see that this post was made IN OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR. If the next update doesn't get rid of this or allow me to hide it, I will cancel and leave Spotify.

1000% it’s annoying they specifically put AI features where we will accidentally click on them. Spotify works best when it is user generated!

Amen. As a fellow longtime Spotify user, it really feels like the app is designed by people who have never used it themselves.
