[iOS][Other] Whose idea was it to merge the play and shuffle buttons on iOS mobile???

Even if one doesn't have fat fingers, how does it make sense to have these two buttons this close together??? I keep getting "play" functions when I want to "shuffle" and vice versa. In theory, there's enough space, but in practice there's not.

I agree 100%. It's ridiculous. The buttons have been combined.

The majority of albums and playlists are designed to be played in a specific order. Simple as that. How does stuff like this even pass testing?

Why make it harder and significantly less-intuitive for the user to achieve the default task they always have: play music sequentially? You know, the way people have listened to music ever since it was recorded?:

This change by Spotify does not add value, and creates a more inconvenient user experience.
