Spotify could soon let you hide its most annoying new button – and fans couldn’t be more relieved

• Users on Reddit have spotted a new feature on the Spotify mobile app that allows you to remove the Create button
• While users are more than happy to see it gone, the feature is only available to a handful of users
• Spotify has been quiet, so we’ve done our own little Reddit investigation to get to the bottom of it

When Spotify added the Create button to the in-app navigation bar, it was very poorly received and music fans begged to have it removed, mainly because it messes up muscle memory. Now, it appears as though Spotify is listening to those complaints.

A few weeks back, Android Authority reported that Spotify could be releasing a new toggle setting that would allow you to remove the Create button from the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. This was initially speculation, but now a number of users have shared images on Reddit showing a new toggle under the ‘Display preferences’ header in Spotify’s settings. Not everyone has access to it yet though – myself included.

While Spotify hasn’t made an official announcement, the online discourse suggests that the music streaming service could be rolling it out gradually since a handful of users already have access. However, despite the absence of the new feature in my app, the Create button has disappeared from my interface (see below). This was confusing, so I took to Reddit to see what others had to say.

Is this the end for one of Spotify’s most annoying features?
