It would appear that the newest update to mobile versions of Spotify have moved the Search/Filter options for playlist into a small context menu which is a few clicks and a scroll away.   I don't see the need for this - I (and I'm sure many others) use the search funtion and the sort functions all the time on mobile devices. So the fact that they have been moved elsewhere is really inconvenient - there was no need to do this.   Do other people agree that the search and sort functions need to be moved back to the playlist main screen? ...

It's very annoying that you cannot control the queue on mobile when the song has a video. You basically have to skip the song and hope the next one doesn't have a video so that you get access to the queue button and can e.g. change the places of songs in the queue.   I have no use for the videos and they likely take a ton of data, so could you give the possibility to disable videos overall? ...

The latest spotify for android update, as well as the newest iOS update, removed the "shuffle all" option for multiple playlists within a folder. I used this feature every day and it's my favorite spotify feature. Please bring it back! ... View more

The podcasts menu available in the library section of the phone app should be accessible also in Android Auto ! This idea is not new, has been requested before - and has 130 votes !!

So, when you have the Spotify all on mobile, you can't see what music you're listening to on the discord app, even though it's connected and the settings are on.  This feature is for Free/Premium and it works for PC, but doesn't work in spotify mobile because of its different API.   After talking to an agent, I found out this feature hasn't be added, but I'm sure a lot of people would love it, who use both discord and Spotify on mobile.    I request the developers to add this feature to mobile, too, so that our friends can too see what music we're listening when we're using the Spotify mobile app.      Device- Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on android 8.0 Oreo   Attached are the screenshots of the music not showing up on the discord app.                 ...

https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive.html Dear support, when do you plan to add support for adaptive icons with android 9.0? Currently Android app icons have varying shapes and this results in a really disorganized feel. Some device manufacturers attempted to solve cohesiveness issues of icons by just having a white backdrop with a custom shape and original app icon stamped into the middle, this approach completely ignores any input from developers and their opinion, and finaly, the result is very ugly. Adaptive Icons however enables the app developer to have a lot more control over brand identity and design while maintaining a cohesive feeling. Developer can choose background and a foreground layer, it would be shaped by a mask layer provided by the launcher and that's it. This is how you do it. Your lite version already implements it, I do not understand how a company with such renown has not yet implemented it. Greetings and thank you.   ... View more

Hi, I would like to request optimizing the Spotify app for 18:9 screens, such as on the Pixel 2 XL or OnePlus 6. Please also understand that not all Android builds are alike, stock Android doesn't have any option to force optimization like the S9 does. Even though phones with this ratio our out for over a year now, Spotify still didn't update their app to support this, even though Apple Music (Yes yes, Apple, the iOS developer) supports it for a while now and even though Spotify updated the app for the iPhone X within a month. The optimizing would make the black bar dissapear, which is even more apparent on Android P when entering the multi tasking or lowering the notification shade (screenshots attached). Also, coloring the navbar a bot would be nice if you'll anyway bring the bottom bar closer to the navbar. Thanks. P.S. The fix is extremely easy for your devs: Insert this line in   the <application> tag of the  app  manifest. <meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2:1" />   ... View more

Firstly let me say I have been using Spotify since it launched here in the US and have seen a lot of great improvements over the years. Great job! I am a music listener who likes to let the current track play out before starting a new one. I love what you have done on the iOS side with swipe to queue. Can you show Android some love and put this story in your backlog? :) Thanks for listening! ... View more

As of 1/8/2018 the spotify widget is currently on a 1x4 size. Many newer phones have the ability to hold more icon columns (more than 4) therefore the spotify player looks poorly made and ill fitting.    I know that google play, and samsung play provide the ability to resize the widget to match the width/# of icon columns you have on your screen.   Can it be possible to allow the widget to be resizeable like other music playing competitor apps?    It feels weird that spotify doesn't take this idea into account. It has been submitted many times on the forum:    https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Android-Music-Still-no-resizable-widget/idi-p/1453390   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Android-Widget-Scale-for-bigger-phone/idi-p/1450583   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Android-Resizable-Widget/idi-p/4158889   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Android-Other-Widget-Size-Adjustment/idi-p/1280262   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Android-Other-Spotify-widget-resizing-on-Android/idi-p/1808261   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Android-Widget-should-be-resizable/idi-p/1151879   https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Spotify-Widget/m-p/760295   I assume it isn't that much work to do compared to some of the other ideas I have seen you guys implement.

USB DAC/amps are less impressive on Android Spotify because the standard Android driver is up-sampling. The Dragonfly Red runs at 44.1kHz with Spotify on my PC but on Android it up-samples to 96kHz causing glitching. Other DACs have similar issues. The proposal is for Spotify to access USB DACs directly, bypassing the Android driver.   Audiophile music players already take this approach, e.g. USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP) and Neutron. Tidal works with UAPP.   This idea is a version of "Support USB Audio through the USB Audio Player PRO driver" without the 3rd party partnership. It was written in response to @Meredith's review. Both ideas originate from the USB audio out OTG support thread.   External USB headphone DAC/amps for Android phones are becoming a thing. What Hi-Fi has a Best DACs page that mainly lists portable audiophile kit. I would prefer to carry a phone and a DAC rather than a phone and a portable music player because it is more fun to have access to the whole Spotify catalogue. ... View more

It would be great if the release notes could be put into the "What's New" section on the Google Play store.   I have had a large number of apps pushing updates which have broken the app. As such, I now refuse to update apps unless they provide release notes. The spotify "What's new" section (" We’re always making changes and improvements to Spotify. To make sure you don’t miss a thing, just keep your Updates turned on.") is  so vaugue that it gives no information. It also asks to keep updates turned on but makes no attempt to convince the user to do so. This is highly unlikely to convince anyone in my opinion.   Interestingly, the release notes are available in the equivelant place of the iTunes store. Assuming an automated process is being used to upload the new versions and update the notes, there is very little additional development work involved, especially in comparison to maintaining legacy systems because users refuse to update.   As a final note, searching this site has shown a number of these requests have been closed as duplicates of this issue: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Changelog-after-each-Update-In-App/idi-p/1359400 This is not the case here as I am asking for the release notes in the play store rather than in app. Having them in app would only show the changes AFTER and update. I would like the release notes before I update. ... View more

Android applications seem to support some form of integration with the Android OS to identify as a music player.   Going to: Settings > Apps > *Gear Icon* > *Default Section* > Music app:   I'm able to select which application on my phone should be the default app for music, and the phone presents me with a list of choices: Google Play Music MX Player Pro ES File Explorer Pro IPTV Pro. As you can see, Spotify is not on the list. If those apps can make it to the list, so can Spotify. Would be really great to see official integration with Android in this regard, especially because such integration helps a lot when connecting the phone with the car!   Screenshot attached.   Phone: OnePlus 5 OS: Oxygen OS 4.5.2 / Android 7.1.1 OS Build: ONEPLUS A5000_23_170624   Thanks   (P.S.

Android auto UI displays all content even if the content has been filtered on the smartphone. Going offline and online is not the most practical way to avoid data usage costs while traveling. A simple switch on the Android auto UI switching from and to offline mode could be great. Alternatively, a option in the parameters of the account could be that when playing with Android auto switch automatically to offline mode and reverse when going out the car. ... View more

Bring back the Double-Tap search feature on Android.  The Spotify Voice interface is neat and handy but I would still love to see the double tap search feature, especially when I dont want to speak out loud. It really helped when using one hand on the device (like most people do) and not have to reach to the search bar at the very top of the screen in order to search.    Implementing both Voice and double tap will allow users to have the perfect range of utilization.     Thanks! ...

I would like to have a better User Experience on the Android app. By example: On Deezer, while you are listening one song, you can do some gestures (swipe up, swipe bottom, etc.) to "minimize", "see the queue", "visit song's artist" and many others. It results so usefull because you have to do less work to acommplish some tasks and you can take advantage of those amazing functionalities provided by the OS. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards. ...

The android version of Spotify currently doesn't have a setting for how much disk space the cache is allowed to take up, so it just keeps getting larger and larger until the entire drive is full.    A music streaming app should not need several gigabytes of  drive space.
