[Android] Remove the Shuffle / Play Button

Hi, I tried out your new design, which I have mixed feelings about, but nevermind that. The most annoying thing I come over in the new Spotify (for iPhone by the way) is the dumb, big, overlapping, unnecessary shuffle play button that pops up everywhere. Is this a bug or is this on purpose? Could at least had add an option for it. Also, it doesn't look streamlined at all with the current design. Did it even occur that not everyone wants a shuffle play button?

Updated on 2020-11-04

Hey folks,
As some of you will have noticed, this has changed on iOS.
We've updated the idea, so that we can update everyone more accurately with regards to Android.
We're marking this as a 'Good idea', too.
Please know that your feedback is reaching the right teams here.

We'll post an update if anything changes!
Thanks

I get the feeling that these forums are not very well monitored, so I posted on Twitter, and got the following tweet back: "We don't have any info about this right now but we'll remind our developers it's a popular request /MQ", so my recommendation is that you all post tweets and include "@spotify". That might get their attention.

 

Let's help Spotify get rid of this completely unnecessary mistake.

remove it. please! I don't have a big phone, it's ridiculous how much room it takes up. I pay for spotify. Don't compromise my experience because you want more $$$

Please let me change default big button to not be shuffle play. Shuffle is super annoying for proper album listening

Change big "Shuffle" button on mobile interface to two buttons: "Play" /  "Shuffle."  Humans like choice.

Please remove the darn shuffle button, or make it MUCH less intrusive. It blows my mind how Spotify could make such an idiotic UI decision. Do they even listen to their customers anymore?

also, LOL @ status "not right now," is Spotify insane? A ton of your customers hate this feature, and you say "not right now," wow.. just WOW. You guys gotta get your **bleep** together

Ok, Wimp it is then. Can't take this button anymore. Bye Spotify!

If everyone do the same, Spotify will be forced to stop this stupidity.
