[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

This is not a new idea, but I haven't found any practical reply to it, so I think it needs to be repeated. I completely agree with Rennestein (screen capture below), we need to stop seeing irrelevant suggestions because it is annoying. Why can't it be possible to decide what we first see when we open Spotify on any device? (playlists, recently played, artists we're following, etc), and enjoy better our Spotify experience?
Please Spotify, let us have the home screen as we'd like. :)) Thank you!

Hey folks,

We appreciate you sharing your feedback on the Community and showing your support to this idea.
 
We're setting this idea to 'Not Right Now', as this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement. If we do have any new info to share, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status.
 
Update from the 23rd of Feb 2023:
 
A new feature was recently introduced in the mobile app which you may find interesting as it allows users to remove content recommendations from the subfeeds (Music and Podcasts & Shows) of their Home screen, thus expanding upon the current customization options and offering a improved, more personalized experience. You can find more info about it in the Status update here.
 
Thanks.

Yeah, I realise that too (am a software engineer myself), but if it works, it works. And it works, at least for the latest update. As soon as the app acts wonky, I can always repeat the process. But indeed, as you said, this can be done "clean" in a few lines of code.

Hope this helps. 


Yeah, right...
The poll you want us to answer is now more than 3 years old... 😄

Just disable the updating entirely, it's not like they ever do anything but remove features and add annoying GUI elements anyway.

"STATUS: Not Right Now" 😂

 

What is wrong with you Spotify? Why are you like this? The absolute fkin state of this company

I'm cancelling my subscription over this. My subscription status will also be 'Not right now' until this feature is available.

Unaware of what ASMR is I've clicked it once. Curious monkey I was and lesson was learnt hard way. Now this **bleep** pollutes my spotify homepage. Please fix.

This isn’t just about customising our home screens. This is about people not wanting to see explicit content suggested on their home screens when they don’t even listen to episodes and talk shows. No one needs things like that shoved in their face when they open your app especially those who have their kids listening to music. Do better Spotify and don’t give your customers a lame excuse of how this isn’t important. It sounds like a lot of people feel the same way. Myself and others have said they will stop using Spotify and cancel their premium if this continues.

I've dropped a line to Spotify Support pointing out that there are so much votes on this topic and yet there is no such feature. Even worse. I am getting weird suggestions on Episodes e.g. "How is it to be a gay in a modern society", "Guys, we've **bleep**ed" podcast, "The art of cunnilingus". Even though I am not against any of this but it is DEFINITELY not what I want to see on my main screen in the first place. 
The answer is as always:

 

"Implementing new features takes some time and work and, unfortunately, it’s not a feature on the app just yet. Our apologies.
Although it's not something that's due to be released in the near future, we can’t provide any more details about the timeframe."
 
I guess some sh*tty manager from Youtube Music was fired there and hired here.
Can't even give details about when HiFi is coming so no chance with this

At one point, customizing the home screen would have been a nice to have. However, as a subscribing customer I believe it's pretty reasonable of me to request removing pornhub content from my start screen when it's unrequested. As an added bonus, I'm sure you're also displaying this content for my kids.

Simplest fix is removing the Episodes for you from my start screen.
