The well-known heart symbol will soon disappear from Spotify. The music streaming service is changing the way you can store or add your favorite songs and podcasts to a playlist. You will soon be able to do all these things with one + button.
Currently, the heart icon on Spotify serves to add songs to your favorites list, aka the “Songs You Like” list. In contrast, to save podcast episodes, you have a + icon. Finally, you can click the “Add to” button via the settings to add songs to playlists.
It is those three functions that Spotify now combines into one and the same button, namely a + icon. As a result, the well-known heart disappears from the application.
Plus
If you press the Plus (+), you can choose the destination for any song, album, playlist or podcast with a simple tap and save it there. That way will Spotify they claim to make the user experience more intuitive. It should also save time because you can add songs to multiple playlists simultaneously. Songs and podcasts that you previously saved in the previous way will of course remain in your favorites or playlist.
The change is currently rolling out to users worldwide on mobile (iOS and Android) and will be available to all Spotify users in the coming weeks.
