Bring back "Pin playlists to homescreen"

[maffia-ric]

According to a discussion on https://community.spotify.com/t5/Your-Library/Move-playlists-to-Homescreen/td-p/5453989 it is "currently not available".

Albums are possible to be pinned to the homescreen, but the support to do the same with playlists is removed recently

Through this way I would like to request to add this functionality back to the android app

I'm missing this feature so much!! Please bring it back. It's the only way I can easily access my vast amount of playlists.

Are we going to have to wait much longer for this change back?

Aren't we aware yet that the enshittification is a death wish for a company?

I want to have this feature available for podcasts where I could easily tap this on my homescreen and go to the podcast and see where I left off in the series. Hopefully not where I'd have to add the next episode to my home screen every time I finish one, but if that's the only way, it'd still be better than nothing. I'd pin it to my list or whatever in Library, but I only have 4 pins.

I use pinned playists when I teach yoga... very annoying to NOT be able to do this any longer.

Still missing the feature. Why do we have to vote for something that has existed already? Just bring it back please.

Nothing to look into. Why on earth would any developer think it is not a good idea?

still waiting on this one 🙄

this feature helped people select playlists easier and safely when driving but i guess Spotify thinks everyone has android auto or apple car play in their cars now no matter how old their car is

Would be very nice to have this feature.

***update: I did get a playlist shortcut back on my Android homescreen finally. Try going into the app drawer, long press on the Spotify icon, the Playlist i wanted popped up in the context menu, another long press sent it to the homescreen.

***update 2: Wasn't sure at first how to control what playlists show up in the long press pop-up but so far it has worked by navigating to the Playlist and hitting the phone's homescreen button and going back through the long-press process above. Each time the most recently displayed playlist in the app was visible in the pop-up.

I'm a little late to this party. My last two phones had the shortcuts automatically transferred over by the phone backup service; so I had no idea this had been removed until my most recent phone transfer didn't bring them with it! Super bummed. I used those homescreen shortcuts literally every day.

Like @phrozenstare mentioned, my work vehicle is a Ford Transit van fleet vehicle. No android auto even though it's a 2019 so the shortcut was a huge lifesaver while driving. Not every new vehicle has fancy tech.
