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.

When you have a lot of playlists it's hard to find the few that you mostly use quickly. Adding to the home screen was amazing.

Miss this feature!!

Please bring this back - why would Spotify remove a feature?? It was useful

Incredibly sad to see this feature removed! 

I have a huge number of playlists and like to pin the ones I'm currently most into onto the home screen for quick access. Now I have to scroll through many folders and playlists... 

Pinning to homescreen made it much safer to access a playlist when driving as well, since it'd literally be a tap away. 

We're over 600 votes in about 2 months but are still stuck in the 'good suggestion' status. Please provide an update or bring back this useful feature!

Why would you think this is a bad feature? It helps me listen to more variety rather than being led by your algorithms / marketing! 🤔

What's funny is that I still have pinned playlists on my homescreen, I just can't add a new playlist. It's frustrating that this feature was takeen away because if I was getting in the car to drive somewhere, I could just quickly find a playlist to listen to rather than having to scroll through the app.

Please let me put my favorite albums on my homescreen again.

If you don't wanna wait then you can downgrade spotify and find the version which is still fully supported in all its features, but have the option of adding playlists to homescreen. I really recommend. 🙂

what was the last version that had this feature?

This is the only "feature" that kept me from moving to the big players in the streaming music industry. Please bring it back tonight or sooner. If it cannot be offered, then I may as well move to more music for the same price.
