My Question or Issue

The new update for Spotify doesn't show the date that a playlist was updated anymore. I loved this feature and used it all the time to see that my favorite playlists were updated so that I could find new music. Now, I can't tell that they were updated, therefore, I automatically assume that the music within the playlists is old. This pertains to Spotify playlists and the playlists that my friends are creating. Please add this feature back to the iOS app, it really made my experience on Spotify so much better.

Yes, please bring this back. I will only use Spotify less without this feature!

 

I also miss this feature. It was useful to see when a playlist was updated. On desktop you can see the date column when songs were last added, but you can't see this on mobile so the updated date was very helpful.

Hello! 

Spotify has to be my favorite app; it's definitely the one that I use the most. But I was really sad when I saw that the feature to see when a playlist was updated had been removed. It's a little strange, but I usually associate important events or memories with the music that I had been listening to at the time. I would often go through old playlists just to see when I'd last changed them, and use them like my own little calendars. It was nice to be able to bring back memories like that, and was (and still is - just in case it comes back!) one of my favorite parts of the app. It really would make me so happy to be able to see all of it again. Spotify is still wonderful, of course, and I'll continue to use it regardless, but I'm glad to see that other people are having a similar issue. Thank you~
