Social networks and applications where content is shared on the Internet have a series of buttons that can help to assess it. The tastes depend on each one, but they all share that they press a specific button to launch said assessment. In Spotify until now was a heart, but it seems that the firm has new plans.
Goodbye to the heart of Spotify?
The modifications in the interface of the applications are usually the most important for the applications that you use daily. These changes help the app to be used better, even to make it better understood and thus users have better control of it. And sometimes a small change can make everything different.
In the case of Spotify, we will see changes very soon for all those who want to indicate that they like content. These changes are simple but eye-catching because it completely changes the way you add music to your playlist. Everything happens by removing the heart button that is now on the right side of the screen of your terminal.
EIn its place appears a circle with a positive sign (+) which acts as a heart. But the best thing is that this also replaces the existing one in operation. To give you an idea of what to expect in the future, you will have to press once to add that particular song to the list of songs you like. On the other hand, if you press the button for a long time you will have access to sending that song to the playlist that you want.
In the company blog they explain this change as follows: “In our user research, we found that the update to the Plus (+) button helped save time and gave users the ability to add to multiple playlists at once. We also found that saving songs and podcasts makes users more likely to listen to them again, which means more love for the artists or shows you’ve discovered. So it can do everything the Heart button does, and more!”
The arrival of this feature is already ready for its global launch, so it is a matter of time before an update gives you these new options.
