[Mobile] Get rid of 'Create' button on mobile navigation bar

[marcoslaporte8]

I recently got the last update, and found that a fourth button was added to the bottom navbar. What's the point of this? It's in the way of entering 'Your Library' section, as this was the default spot for that button.

Besides that, does it really need to have a shortcut? How often do people create new playlists or blends? There's already a button for that in 'Your Library', so...

I think removing this button will improve UI.

Delete the create button. Thanks.

My Question or Issue

Can you please remove this new rightmost tab button to create a playlist?

My thinking is: How often do you want to visit your library vs how often creata new playlist. For me it is something lik 99:1. I'd wager you must have an internal challenge who can break muscle memory of the most users because really this is a ridiculous change.

remove it or put 1 place to the left

put the 'library' back in the corner

I mistakenly open the create button already 1 million times, VERY VERY annoying!

nobody asked for this monstrosity 

get real and remove it or - at least - give the option to the user to remove it!!!!

It’s the worst idea ever to put it there. Stop ruining UI and UX we’ve learned so far…

Hey @thedafelix,

Thanks for posting this thread in the Community!

We really appreciate you sending this screenshot, as well as explaining in detail your opinion on how the app looks like for you at the moment. Keep in mind that from time to time you may see something that your friends don't on Spotify (and vice versa) and that would explain the plus-button.

We're always testing improvements and new features as we always strive to improve and offer better functions. Thank you once again for expressing your feedback. 

Should you need help with anything else or if you've got any questions, we're here 🙂

Thanks @Ivelina!

Sorry for being so harsh in my original post, I was just frustrated in this moment.

I understand that you do A/B testing but it's also not great being a "test subject".

This was a bad idea in 2022: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Your-Library/How-to-remove-plus-button/td-p/5352581 and it still a bad idea in 2024. A lot of people have muscle memory to quickly navigate to their library/playlists which now leads to frustrated clicks on a button that we do not need.

Remove it or at least move it to the centre. My library should be in the corner, muscle memory is tough to beat.

It's very disruptive!

This is just so bad. At the very least allow us to configure the bottom buttons instead of just forcing us. I loved having library at the rightmost, it made the most sense 

I go to my library waaaay more often than I create a playlist. This decision was just nonsensical.
