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

marcoslaporte8_1-1729535408614.png

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.

Take away this stupid feature! I keep hitting trying to go to my library. If I want to create a new playlist (and I have almost 1000) I know where to find it I do not need a shortcut. What I do need is My Library shortcut where I expect it and in the corner so that I can access it while I’m driving or in the gym or anywhere else without looking at it!

Next time a new button is added keep in mind that people have mussle memory of where a button was(for example right bottom). Having the option to disable it would indeed be nice. Or just having it on the left of library. For now went back to version 8.9.70.x as I keep messing up even after 2 months.

Didn't see the need for the button. For jams it's nice but one more click has it already under "play on device". New Playlist is under "Add number to Playlist" already.

In the new UI update you added “create” as a 4th option to the bottom of the app (iOS). I have been using Spotify for a long time and naturally click the bottom right to view playlist. It’s a very annoying change and in my opinion very unnecessary. Please at least give the option to remove the create button.

The face that you guys have 8 pages of feedback on this and you still haven't changed it speaks volumes about your priorities

 the new, "Create," tab at the bottom right corner of the app is... Infernally stupid. There is the same button right at the top of the library tab, which is the place I click normally in the bottom right. Which is now a new useless button. Please rid.

Please stop putting new useless buttons exactly where very useful buttons already were!!!

I 100% agree. It made me unreasonably mad, but it is so stupid. Especially when they put it where library used to be?

Remove create button because it is useless and really bothers when we want to tap on "your library"

I'm a 9 year Spotify Premium Subscriber. In that time, I believe the "Your Library" tab has always been the farthest tab to the right. Recently, spotify added a "Create" tab, in place of the "Your Library" tab, though it is not rolled out to all users.

I accidentally press the Create button all the time because I have built up muscle memory - the main part of Spotify that I use is the "Your Library" tab.

I feel that it's disservice to me to override that screen location with something like "Create", which is different functionality, and not something I do frequently. I also feel like it's not the right place for the "Create" button, as it's a tab bar (eg. I believe this is against the iOS guidelines). If your metrics are saying people are clicking it a lot, it probably means users are trying to get to their library.


I would prefer to be removed me from the "Create" experiment.

Long term ideas:

 

  • Swap the "Create" tab with the "Your Library" tab, so that the "Your Library" tab returns to it's rightful place as the farthest tab to the right.
  • Simply move the "Create" button into one of the tabs, or somewhere else on the screen.
