Bring Back Artist Name Navigation From Playlist Tracks (iOS)

Recent Spotify updates removed the ability to tap the artist name underneath a song title in playlists to instantly open the artist page.

This was one of the fastest and most intuitive navigation features in the app. It allowed users to quickly discover music, explore artists, and move naturally through the platform without extra taps or menu digging.

Now the workflow is slower and more frustrating:
• Tap the 3 dots
• Open additional menus
• Then navigate to the artist page

This is a clear downgrade in usability and speed.

The old system worked perfectly because:
• Artist names were already visible
• The interaction was intuitive
• It encouraged music discovery
• It reduced unnecessary UI clutter and extra steps

Please restore direct artist-page navigation by tapping the artist name beneath tracks in playlists, or at minimum make it an optional setting for users who preferred the previous behavior.

Features that users rely on for fast navigation and music discovery should not be removed without an equal or better replacement.

Yes! Why did they give us an extra menu to tap through? It used to be either tap artist name > artist page, or tap song title > album page. This worked perfectly. The new update is so unintuitive. It sucks.
