[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.

Remove the redundant create button from the bottom of the screen in the mobile app. It already exists within the app on the library page. The developers need to wise up and listen to the actual users of this app.

I've pressed the create button maybe 5 times before this update, vs 1000s of times pressing library, search, etc. Spotify should even have metrics of often users perform certain actions to back this up. Whoever decided this change was good clearly doesn't use the app.

I accidentally updated and it’s annoyed me so much in just a day of use.

Just remove the create button already!!

Please get rid of this. It has no place being on the bottom hotbar, since the library portal has the feature and everything you create will end-up in the library anyway. It's a terrible UI.

I'd like to see the "Create" tab removed from the mobile app, or at least an option to hide it. It could also be moved to the right of the Search tab before the Your Library tab.

 

I keep accidentally tapping on the new "Create" tab and I have to take the extra time to close out of the menu each time.

bring back the old layout!

I'd love to see a completely customizable UI for desktop and mobile, like the foobar2000 player did decades ago.

Absolutely dreadful implementation, adding Create button.

Please remove.

 

I've downloaded version 9.0.22.542 from APK website, as it's the last version I could find before Create button was added.

They won’t remove it.
