Ability to Turn off Some Swipe gestures

Hi, I am someone who occasionally has issues with involuntary hand movements and stuff. Can you please make the app more accessible by giving the ability to turn off "swipe to skip song"? I keep skipping the songs when I do not want to as there is no longer any real good empty space to touch on the screen when I am having these issues so it happens a lot. Literally every touch to the phone messes something up because every gesture does something, that is why I do not like swiping gestures.

Hey @lilliterra,

 

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us.

 

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the swipe gestures. Accessibility is a top priority at Spotify, and we’re actively working to improve inclusivity across our platform. We’ve passed your feedback along to our Accessibility team.

 

Meanwhile, we’d be happy to help with any other questions you might have.

I hope they get to this. This feature is very annoying, especially when you have the playing audio track minimized and you're just trying to look at something else in the app.
