My Question or Issue

Since a couple of updates ago, the haptics have changed in a very bad way, I‘ll try to describe it:

1. When swiping up/down to scroll, and letting it scroll on it‘s own, and then tapping once to stop the scrolling, Spotify plays the song that I tapped on while scrolling. This is not the case in any other app I have ever used or currently use. It makes no sense because while it‘s scrolling, I can‘t even tell which song I‘m going to tap on to stop the scrolling. Extremely annoying, this way I unvoluntarely change songs all the time.

2. Even worse, when scrolling just a littel bit (5mm or so on my screen) with the finger on a song, the song also starts playing as if I had tapped on it, even though the app correctly recognized that I was trying to scroll. So the app scrolls up/down the 5mm that I wanted it to scroll while ALSO registering my gesture as a tap. How does that make any sense? Why would I want to scroll AND tap on a song with a single touching motion?

 

Both issues together just make up for a horrible user friendliness, because I CONSTANTLY switch songs unvoluntarely.

 

Please fix this as soon as possible.

 

EDIT: Just realized this is only an issue when viewing an artists profile. Attached a video showing both issues. Especially the second issue should be good to see.

Hi there!

 

It's just the way the UX was built. If you don't like this behaviour I’d suggest starting a new thread in the Community Ideas Exchange.
