Toggleable UI pane sides left/right in ipadOS etc.

The new random update puts the "Now Playing" on the right, instead of the left, leaving right handed users to have to use their left to select a song/playlist from the library. 

Having the righthanded/lefthanded option in the settings to switch this, instead of being baked in to the new update would make for a better user experience, more streamlined and more in keeping with previous versions usability.  

(Idea suggested by my 16 year old autistic son who has had a number of meltdowns over the UI update on his iPad, and I totally agree with his take on having the side  toggleable)

I agree, please remove split screen or provide an option for changing the view on IPad.

Thanks.

My Question or Issue

Hey @arcane2, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Spotify is often testing and launching improvements and new features.

This means you might see something on the app that your friend doesn’t, or get a new feature to try temporarily. In addition, I’d recommend creating a new Idea about this here. Make sure to share it as it will eventually reach Spotify teams, depending on the amount of votes it gets.

I'll be here if you need anything else!

It looks like at least for my account, that they rolled back this UI change. It’s definitely an improvement in my opinion. Click the now playing bar and it takes you to the full screen album art or canvas video like we are used to seeing. I hope this stays permanent or that you continue to improve this particular layout. 

[TiredOfBS]

Well, I guess I spoke too quickly. I left the app and came back in and this is what I see currently. Ugh!
