What happened to the ability to zoom-in on album art in the Android app?

Hey!! I'm not quite sure what happened to that feature, but if you'd like to zoom in on album art, another option would be to take a screenshot of the album and zoom in from your photos app. This is a bit more inconvenient, but it hasn't been too big a deal for me. Hope this helps!

Yes, that helps. Just makes no sense that they would get rid of a useful feature.

Yeah I get you man, it is a shame. What you can try though is making an Idea Submission! If you scroll to the bottom of the page there should be the option to add that in. Let me know when/if you do it, I’ll definitely vote for it!

In the newest update so many unnecessary features have been removed. I just don't get why.

I noticed in the newest update Im not able to zoom in on album artwork if I access a particular album from an artist's discography on their page...however once I save that album to my library then once it's saved Im suddenly able to zoom in on the artwork...and also Im still able to zoom in on playlist covers..but album covers no, unless saved to my library as I mentioned. It just makes no absolute sense and I really wish I could ask someone in Spotify's creative department why this feature was removed??  It's bad enough album artwork cant be appreciated in full detail like owning a particular album on Vinyl or CD when streaming...so to be able to zoom in on artwork should at least be an option. Many people DO CARE about album artwork. I really hope Spotify brings back the ability to zoom in on artwork in theire next update.
