[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.

TERRIBLE.  Remove immediately!

 

Library is something we all use every single day.  You're forcing users to sacrifice muscle memory for a button that we ALREADY HAD in the library.  We don’t want to create nEw PlAyLiStS every single day and need that on a nav bar.  Change**bleep** back.  Insane UI/UX decision guys. Jesus.

For some reason, I only just received this new UI update and I immediately tapped on the create button because I wanted to enter my library. Why would you go against muscle memory that much? I‘m a UX Designer myself and for such a change to be made, at least 60% or more of users are creating playlists more than they‘re entering their library. I can hardly believe that‘s true. It‘s SO annoying. Please, for the love of music, roll it back.

I just got this new button today and I hate it. I have tapped it several times by accident trying to get to my library. I create a new playlist maybe once every few months, and I can do that from my library, so it’s entirely a waste of space for me. At least having the option to hide it would be a compromise.

Allow users to change the order of the bottom tab menu.

Seriously Spotify please give us the option to disable it, it’s pure UI clutter. Prime example of enshittification of your app.

PLEASE GET RID OF THIS. IT MAKES ZERO SENSE. ITS NOT A TAB ITS A BUTTON AND ITS ALREADY ON THE LIBRARY PAGE.

Yes please remove this button it is so unnecessary. Those buttons already had places in the app that worked way better

I have been using Spotify for about 9 years. The UI has always been extremely bad with completely illogical features. This new “Create” button which was added to the bottom right corner is the last straw for me. Why would you add such a button to the most important place IN THE WHOLE UI. Astonishingly, there is actually a button with THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER when you are in “Your Library” tab. I can remember many UI changes which made no sense or were rolled back after a while. One of the dumbest things Spotify ever had was the delete downloaded song in the old Saved song list. This was reworked into “Liked songs” list and there is a confirmation button now when you want to delete but it is still extremely weird design.

 

Overall, the UII changes has always been executed poorly and the whole design is clearly not managed properly. This has been the issue for years. I work in the tech sector and it is very clear where the problem is.

 

Get your product into top shape. It is tiresome. Thanks.

Yes, please remove this button. All you've done is duplicate the same button that's in the upper right corner of the library tab. Why is that necessary? I immediately hit the library button when I open the spotify app because of the useless homepage, and now you've made even that more difficult. I will never use any of the features in this menu except for (rarely) manually creating my own private playlist.  I have no interest whatsoever in creating any kind of collaborative playlist or using an A.I. to do so. I can think and make decisions for myself, thanks. This is just one more example of tech companies trying to shove unnecessary and intrusive A.I. and social functions down our throats.

Can something be done about this?
