[All Platforms] Customize Start Screen

Submitted by on ‎2018-07-15 11:43 AM
Status: Not Right Now

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.

“…this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement.”

 

Here’s an idea - how about your plans are driven by what your users want?

Really? 2023, and still Not Right Now? It seems like Spotify doesn’t even care about this anymore.

Not even looking for true customization, I'd just like to remove podcasts from 'Your Shows' section when I haven't liked/downloaded/saved anything from that podcast.

How is this still not a thing? I actually know why and it bothers me!

Really would like to not have podcasts in my homepage. Just not into them at all

Is there any answer on this? I listened to a podcast once and hated it. Now I see that suggestion every time I open the app!

I even tried rating the podcast one star

I very much enjoy my Spotify music and have been a longtime premium family subscriber.
But I have ZERO interest or intention of using Spotify for podcasts. It would be truly welcome to be able to stop getting prompts and wasted landscape devoted to something I don't welcome or want. I don't expect Spotify cares much , but given the ongoing creep in pricing I am now highly incentivized to drop my subscription and find music elsewhere

I think it may be fair to say that Spotify will never action this FE, despite having over 10k upvotes. It's been open for more than 4 years with only crickets.

 

TBH, I've never seen movement on popular FEs/ideas I've cared about, and I'm ready to give up trying.

I think this is actually ridiculous. We pay for this application. for the past 6 months I've had a podcast that a friend of mine listened to on my account and I HATE. Hounding me once a week in "New Episodes" and "Good Morning". It has an extremely vulgar name so it makes driving people with carplay extremely awkward. 

in terms of UX, this is extremely annoying, especially from a world class service like this.
