Bring back the heart button!

[Urticlaire]

It's SUPER frustrating, we can't see which songs we liked in our own playlists, Bring back the heart button PLEASE, the new way doesn't work AT ALL

The plus sign symbol automatically adds songs to your Liked Songs playlist, and that would be at the top anyway. If it's not, you can Pin it so it's always at the top.

Please return the like button.

When the algorithm gives me playlists I like listening to the new music and making my mind up whether or not to like it, unfortunately it is now almost impossible to tell from a glance which songs are liked or newer for me and this means I am listening to less be playlists because of the sheer effort in sorting through the music now.

Seeing the green heart used to mean "you've already sorted this song into the appropriate playlists", now I'm having to check almost every song to make sure it's saved or not and I hate it.

At the very least make an option to turn an indicator for if a song has been liked on or off without having to go through all the extra steps!!!

When did they remove this? I still see it on both desktop and Android. Do I need to stop updating Spotify to keep this feature??? 😮

I updated on Android on 17th Oct and it's version 8.8.80.599

Note that the + symbol doesn't help at all unless you're actually in the Spotify app. I distinctly remember (when the Liked button was a heart) that it would show on your phone's lockscreen as well, and when you swiped down from the top while using another app. This applies to both ios and android since I use both. And some of us don't want the Liked playlist to be the first pinned playlist.

The heart was infinitely more useful and the + symbol doesn't measure up.

This update completely defeats everything that makes listening on spotify great.  The biggest point to the heart icon was that I could see the songs I have liked so I can go back and listen to additional songs from that band to determine if I want to follow them or not.  Now, I have to replay every song in say, my Discovery Weekly playlist to see what was + because there no longer is an icon next to the songs.
This is by far the most frustrating update, and backwards thinking update that Spotify has ever rolled out and people have hated it since it was first announced 8 months ago!
THANKFULLY, and frustratingly you can still use the heart on the website for Spotify, so instead of using the app I just open my browser on my phone or computer to listen to music which now makes the app pointless.

Created an account and posted about this issue just because of this. Please bring this back. It was so unnecessary for this to be removed I thought this was a regression.

This looks like it's been restored? (EDIT: eh not quite see note below). The only thing is the check indicator still doesn't show up on personally-created playlists—I like creating playlists for albums for easier Spotify folder organization so this interferes with that.

EDIT: Well it looks like this is tied to adding-to-playlists instead of likes. I've never been a fan of Spotify's core approach to library organization + "add to library" so this is a bit useless to me, I organize my library using likes and manually-created playlists because they're the only way to meaningfully organize a library with folders. But I guess it's better than nothing. Just feels like it's too clever for its own good, like some product manager decided to revolutionize likes when it didn't need to be revolutionized. What's clearer to understand, "I liked this song" or "I once put this song on a playlist somewhere or copied someone else's playlist with this song on it at some point"?

Though, isn't this confusing UX given the desktop app still uses hearts? Ugh just don't take those away, I rely on my desktop Likes/Hearts interface to do everything that the mobile app no longer offers.
