[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

My playlists or albums will not play in or der. Not only are they not in order, it keeps jumping from one artist to another. Can someone help me?

Terryhurt.  you have to play the first song in the list or album, ignore the big dumb green button.  Also make sure shuffle is not on.

Hi - i agree it should be changed I cannot see a circumastance in which i would ever want to shuffle an album.

It is infuriating that it seems that shuffle is the default.

I want a way to permananetly delete or at least hide the shuffle function - shuffling infuriates me so much that sometimes i shut spotify down and listen on another app.

If everyone could tweet respecfully @spotifyhelps about this issue, because clearly 30 pages in the community forums is not enough for Spotify devs to notice.

..or just cancel the subscription. Why do people stick to what they don't like? I moved to Tidal and don't look back.

It doesn't bother me so much that there is a big button hanging out, I would really like this way better if I could play the songs in order rather than always being in shuffle when on my phone. I may be dropping Spodify for this reason.

Shrink the button, move the button, I don't care - as a paying customer who might not be for long if this doesnt change -GIVE ME A WAY TO DISABLE SHUFFLE. It's a cool feature as an OPTION.

If you choose an album to listen to, go to the first song on that album and click it. As long as shuffle is turned off, the album tracks should play in order.
