[Desktop] Add Gesture Support for Mac App

[disinfeqt]

Please add gesture support for the Mac app, right now you can't use Magic Mouse or Trackpad to swipe right to go back.

Thanks.

Yes please, this would make spotify so much more hassle free to use! No some areas just feel crippled and low tech.

It's actually shocking that Mac trackpad gestures were not implented on the desktop spotify app.  It seems so natural to swipe back with two fingers on my big trackpad when i'm backing out of an artist's homepage.

Please make this a realty Spotify!  I came on these forums just to find out how to use multi touch swipe back and forth.. turns out i can't 😞

Marked as new idea.

I'm just coming back to Spotify after being away for a couple years, and I cannot believe that this *still* has not been implemented. It's almost enough to make me reconsider switching back from Apple Music. This really is basic functionality on a Mac.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for putting your votes to this idea. We just wanted to give you a heads up that side scrolling should now work with your trackpads on Mac and using a Magic Mouse.

Thanks again and be sure to add your votes to other ideas!

Was very excited when I got the email notification that this was finally implemented. Unfortunately it appears that swipes left and right for forward and back navigation still aren’t working on my  15” Touchbar MacBook Pro (2017). Will this functionality be added?

Thank you so much! Haven’t tried it yet but just got this email notification and wanted to hop on to say THANK YOU SPOTIFY!

Hey @teladog01,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Just to confirm, are you using a trackpad or a Magic Mouse?

The functionality is different depending on which one you are using: if you are using the trackpack, you need to swipe using two fingers; with the Magic Mouse, it's just one finger.

Also, where within the app are you trying to swipe exactly?

Keep us posted 🙂
