[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.

Şu gereksiz oluştur butonunu kaldırmanın zamanı geldi. Bu buton zaten kitaplıkta bulunuyor, ayrıca burada olmasının bir anlamı yok. Acilen eski 3'lü arayüz düzenine dönmek istiyoruz. Kitaplığa tıklamak isterken birçoğumuz bu saçma butona tıklıyoruz. Ayrıca bir güncelleme getirmeden önce kullanıcılara  fikirlerini sormanız daha iyi olur.

Switched from iOS to Android and now I keep hitting this previously non-existent button by mistake.

Just another episode of "Ordinary users wondering what Spotify product managers and UX designers do for work", I guess.

Reminds me of the fabulous Tik Tok-ish update to the Home Tab a while ago.

Please, get either rid of this button or make it optional. The same button exists in the top right in the Library and that's where it should stay - out of my way.

This Button Is Very Annoying For People Who Have Used Spotify For A Long Time, Mainly Because Everyone Is So Used To There Only Being 3 Buttons On The Bottom. I Think Spotify Should Get Rid Of It Or Make It Optional Through Settings For People Who Might Enjoy This Feature.

I have just got that button in my app on the iPhone too. Thanks but no thanks. Please add an option to either remove the button or re-arrange the buttons at that bottom row.

Seeing how they’ve been rolling this out since late last year, I imagine this won’t be addressed ? I still 100% agree with what the original poster said !

For years, all Spotify needed was simple, intuitive features like Apple Music’s context menus and queue management. Instead, we keep getting random, disruptive updates that nobody asked for. Are you trying to become TikTok? Since when is Spotify the place for 'creativity. Do we really need to clog up search results with user-generated playlists?

It feels like the platform has lost its way. Maybe it’s time to refocus on what users actually want—basic functionality, not gimmicks. Who’s steering this ship?

Great comment russianvoodoo, this is stupid and no one wants this feature on Spotify. They keep trying to make new features we don't want and no one knows why

I've just received the create tab update, and it is immediately very annoying because it's muscle memory to click on it as that was where playlists were before. Please change it back to just home, search and your library. Or, please give us the chance to disable it! Thank youuu

Agreed!!!! This is such terrible user experience design. How did this get approved? Who is leading this type of decision making?  This is absolutely infuriating! It suggests that users are making playlists more often than they are accessing their music libraries. 

As a right handed person living in THE HUMAN WORLD that location should be reserved for the leading purpose of the app— LISTENING TO MUSIC. 

It is absolutely infuriating and insulting and borderline violent to implement this change!!!

How the **bleep** do you people receive salaries for this type of decision making? Everyone involved in this decision has proven their incompetence and should be fired. It’s such a small but ultimately telling change. Leadership is garbage. Designers are garbage. You are all pathetic and violent designers.

Came here to post this. Terrible choice. Every option in the “create” tab could be listed somewhere less intrusive. Instead of a “primary tab” make it an “auxiliary tab,” similar to tapping your profile picture and going to your actual profile settings.
