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.

Yo también solicito que se vuelva a poner esta opción. A mi me era muy útil para activar las listas en android auto con un toque desde el móvil. A quien se le haya ocurrido la idea de quitar esa opción decirle que hay que pensar un poco las cosas antes de hacerlas

I also miss adding playlists AND albums to the homescreen!

The new "pinned" feature for the library makes no sense to me as I use a large collection of albums and playlists. For me it is easier and clearer to place them on the homescreen.

Please make it possible again and never ever take it away!

Why on earth would you take such basic functionality away?

Ive been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone, up until I found these threads I thought it was an android update that **bleep** up my layout.

 Being able to pin shortcuts to the home screen is essential for those of us who drive long distances through areas without cell reception or wifi. I cant be digging around in the app while I'm driving for obvious safety reasons.

Please bring this function back, its been so annoying that I've resorted to listening to FM radio on my commutes.

💔🤦‍😡Why take away the single best feature? 🤦‍😡💔

"Hey Spotify" >> Android assistant

The add album was removed also. This has drastically impacted the way I personally listen to and explore music and in a negative way. Why would you remove functionality like this? I can't help but feel like this app was created and maintained by developers, but not music lovers. Let's go see which of your competitors has this functionality.
