Bring back "Pin playlists to homescreen"

[maffia-ric]

According to a discussion on https://community.spotify.com/t5/Your-Library/Move-playlists-to-Homescreen/td-p/5453989 it is "currently not available".

Albums are possible to be pinned to the homescreen, but the support to do the same with playlists is removed recently

Through this way I would like to request to add this functionality back to the android app

***update: I did get a playlist shortcut back on my Android homescreen finally. Try going into the app drawer, long press on the Spotify icon, the Playlist i wanted popped up in the context menu, another long press sent it to the homescreen.

***update 2: Wasn't sure at first how to control what playlists show up in the long press pop-up but so far it has worked by navigating to the Playlist and hitting the phone's homescreen button and going back through the long-press process above. Each time the most recently displayed playlist in the app was visible in the pop-up.

I'm a little late to this party. My last two phones had the shortcuts automatically transferred over by the phone backup service; so I had no idea this had been removed until my most recent phone transfer didn't bring them with it! Super bummed. I used those homescreen shortcuts literally every day.

Like @phrozenstare mentioned, my work vehicle is a Ford Transit van fleet vehicle. No android auto even though it's a 2019 so the shortcut was a huge lifesaver while driving. Not every new vehicle has fancy tech.

It's been 2 years already... What's wrong with this???

Either make it possible to find your own, specially created, specific, purpose-driven playlists using searches prompted by voice commands, OR allow us to make our own quick shortcuts. 

Removing a popular feature, given there are so many other options now, that seems misguided.

Stupid is who thought it would be a good idea to remove it. **bleep** is who ignores user votes.

I do maintain a folder of playlists on my home screen.

• Still Ongoing issue. Bring this feature back.

[Lucifrid]

Please bring this back. It's a must for me. I really need this. Do you think about people who need structure and certain way to function? Please we really need this

Why oh why does it take so LONG for Spotify to make these changes? 

Like this isn't rocket science - all we're asking for is a popular feature that was previously available to be reintroduced. It should take minimal effort to be implemented. Yet it takes years for Spotify to make the necessary changes, if in fact they ever manage to get around to it. Come on guys, show some interest in what your customers are asking for.
