[iOS][Discover] Restore Touch Preview on iOS App

Touch preview removal on last iOS vers. update looks like it hasn't been a great idea. You are on time to restore it, one of the best Spotify features.

Updated on 2019-03-19

Hey!

 

Thanks for coming to the Community, and adding your vote to this idea!

 

This feature was originally removed from the app due to low engagement. There was a statement at the time which you can check out at https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Touch-Preview-on-iOS-removal/td-p/1857905.

 

We're keeping this idea as 'Not Right Now', as it's not something we have any immediate plans to add back onto the app.

 

If we do have any new info to share we'll check back in here with a new status.

Cheers!

I think that the feature should be brought back. As the majority of people that knew about the feature think it was really good and it had low usage only because it wasn’t advertised a lot. I myself found it by accident and thought it was one of the best spotify features. Removing it is a really big misatke in my opinion as people from other platforms didn’t get to try out the new function. I think it should be brought back on other platforms and advertised better. After that you could get a right result of what people really think about the feature. I think that I’m right saying that more than 50% of people didn’t even know about the function so the “very low engagement rate”  was your own fault for not adverising the function.

Bring it back!!!! This was one of the best features which kept me from moving to Apple Music!  I love md how if you were air playing you could preview a song on the phone and your music kept playing uninterrupted on the other device.

What a ridiculous excuse to removing one of the main greatest features Spotify once had. If I don’t see this coming back in 2018, I’ll be switching over to Apple Music instead. 

Should’ve shown people the Touch Preview to those with a non-premium account as a result of them already seeing ads. That would’ve helped get the word across or even adding the feature to Android versions too.

Please make it so that if you 3D Touch on a song, it previews it

Please bring this feature back. It was a great way to quickly evaluate playlists to see if they got the mood. Please!

Why take something that is such a positive feature and a differentiator and transform it into something negative about our product and company?

Hey Spotify - you want to know why it was not a heavily used feature? Because VERY FEW people even knew it existed. I work in tech, and even I had to discover the feature accidentally. Any time I used the feature in front of a friend, they were blown away - and had not previously been aware of it. You’re out of your mind to disable it. You’ll be losing many customers to Apple Music shortly, if you haven’t already. I may be one of them! 

 

Bring that feature back, please. I understand your reasoning of doing away with it, but there’s one major problem with that - your logic was entirely flawed. I’d guess that of the users who know about it, the feature likely has one of highest use rates. Don’t be silly - bring it back ASAP.

There is so much competition and you just remove or just don’t add a 3D Touch feature like AM has it but at least we have a stupid Stranger Things Easter egg yeah  ! I don’t even want a preview I just want an easy way to add or remove from my playlist,rate a song or download a song
