[Android] Resizable Android Widget

As of 1/8/2018 the spotify widget is currently on a 1x4 size. Many newer phones have the ability to hold more icon columns (more than 4) therefore the spotify player looks poorly made and ill fitting. 

 

I know that google play, and samsung play provide the ability to resize the widget to match the width/# of icon columns you have on your screen.

 

Can it be possible to allow the widget to be resizeable like other music playing competitor apps? 

 

It feels weird that spotify doesn't take this idea into account. It has been submitted many times on the forum:

I assume it isn't that much work to do compared to some of the other ideas I have seen you guys implement. Please look into this, as there are definitely people complaining about this everywhere. 

 

Thanks,

Widget is now resizable but still lacking "like"and "hide" buttons can you add them whenever is using at least 3 segments?
