[Mobile] Get rid of 'Create' button on mobile navigation bar

marcoslaporte8_1-1729535408614.png

I recently got the last update, and found that a fourth button was added to the bottom navbar. What's the point of this? It's in the way of entering 'Your Library' section, as this was the default spot for that button.

Besides that, does it really need to have a shortcut? How often do people create new playlists or blends? There's already a button for that in 'Your Library', so...

I think removing this button will improve UI.

Hey folks!

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange.

We're setting this one to ‘Implemented’. Check out the steps here to learn how to hide and display the Create button.

 

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better, by participating here on the Community.

If you don’t see this yet, we continuously test and refine features to give users even more control of their Spotify experience so your friends still might see something you don’t. Rest assured, we'll let the team know about your thoughts on this. You can continue to let us know what you think here in Community.

In the new latests updates you added new button + and it bothers me
For what this button?

I do create many playlists. But that makes it more obnoxious. Because why would I start one with a button there and more playlists just mean I use the library tab more often than people who only have one playlist

Give the option to disable it… a lot of us hate this extra, unnecessary tab. I’m constantly accidentally hitting it when trying to access My Library.

I'm quite disappointed with the new UI design (and so are many more Spotify users) where you changed the "Library" option with "Create" option on mobile. I doubt much users will genuinely use that to create playlists or blends. Also bring back hearts

Status changed to: Closed - Doesn't Meet Requirements

Hey @pekco023,

We’re closing this idea since it doesn’t meet one of our Idea Exchange guidelines, namely point 3: One change request per Idea.and point 6: No requests for complete roll-backs.

When one post includes several feature requests, it becomes hard to keep track of and update them. Therefore, please submit any suggestions you may have one at a time.

Feel free to submit a new idea - just make sure to familiarize yourself with the above guidelines.

Thanks for understanding.

This and the new wrapped shows how Spotify wastes resources in nothing

Please remove the create tab from the bottom of the UI. Or at least be able to toggle off. It has hindered the use to accessing the library and made the UI messier than it should be. The create + was fine in the library.

If we want to "test", then create a "beta test" program. There is NO dev in prod.

My Question or Issue.

Since a few weeks I have a new button in the navigation bar on the Spotify app: the create button.

It is a shortcut for making playlists, using blend en creating jams.

Why is this button added? And why is it placed in the right corner?

I now always press the create button instead of the library button. Is there a way to remove this button?

The strange thing is that a lot of people don't have this button and some people do. What can actually be done to get rid of this button?

Because the button is in a very annoying place.

Incredibly stupid UI/UX, remove this button or let us disable it
