Turn the Lock Screen iOS widget back to how it was before the recent update

The new Lock Screen iOS widget, which plays a random song in a random playlist in your recently played playlist is quite annoying for a lot of people, including myself, as most people like to have a certain playlist playing and sometimes certain songs. The new widget mixes up the pre existing queue as well. The overall idea of the widget is nice for the people who want it, but for most people, it just opening the app was good enough and saved lots of time. It would be nice if the the new widget was turned back to how it was before, or even just add the old widget alongside the new one.

Spotify, I love you. I've been using you for a long time. The shuffle shortcut feature is entirely useless to me and in fact makes my experience worse.

 

The simple shortcut to launch the app was PERFECT. I actually wished more apps had shortcuts like this. I do NOT want a random shuffle when I tap that icon, I just want to open the app. Please return the functionality to the simple launch widget.

Not wanting to leave anything to chance ... Spotify check this out:

Many / most who feel this way and clearly a lot do, will also remove the widget.  Less widget, less screen time with Spotify.  Fewer eyeballs/ears => bad for Spotify.  C'mon man, this should be an easy one...
