[Mobile][Your Library] Pin a filter type to make it the default Library sorting.

[Shohan]

With the new update to the library that brings in filters for Library and a single list, I and I assume many users would like a way to default a filter to Library.

For example, I want the ability to pin the "Playlists" filter as default so that whenever i open Library it automatically opens the view on "Playlists" instead of having a single list of everything tucked together.

This would mean anyone who only used Playlists (or Artists or Albums) before the new update would get something similar while people who like the new update could just opt to not pin any filters.

I mean, this issue is more or less why I turned off updates on my phone after getting a test version of this library view.

Who would ever want all their podcasts and playlists and albums all in one long list? And then to have to filter in and out all the time?

I can't believe those of y'all that got stuck with this can't at least set a default filter.

Agreed - throwing my support behind this very needed feature fix!

When I tap "your library" It should automatically revert to Playlist> By you> Custom order. I shouldn't have to tap on 3 to 4 things to get to where I want. Its that simple.

l'd like the ability to set the "Playlists" tab as the default view in my Library on mobile. Every time I open the app, it resets to "Recents," which shows artists and albums too. I prefer to only see my playlists-having a setting or option to lock this view would make the experience way more organized and personal.

Thanks for considering this!

My Question or Issue

My issue is the clutter of Artists that I follow appears on my `Your Library` sidebar.

I got over 200 playlists, mostly neatly categorized. But default Your Library items are filled with the artists I follow and finding my playlists is a huge pain, especially when I'm driving.

Every time to hide it I have to pick "Playlist" filter but then it reverts back to unselected every single time. It's is a really bad idea to see my artists there. I really don't want it.

So either;
A: I need Spotify to remember my last selected filter and stay as it is
or
B: get rid of "Artists" in that section completely.

I tried to find if such thing exists but no avail.

I cannot believe such a simple feature is yet to be implemented... It's been 4 years since the feedback and no action has been made. I wonder if Spotify engineers even use their application because instantly they would be able to tell that filters not saving and artists you follow being at top of the list is a unintuitive design choice. With all these price hikes you would think that they would be incentivized to improve their service but nope for 5 years all we got was slop changes and no real fixes to stuff that actually matter
