iPadOs, iOS Spotify Widget is absolutely worthless!! No Play/Pause/Skip buttons? Yikes! 🙈 🙈

Devices

Everything except a device capable of putting a screen widget with a simple play/pause/skip function.

Operating Systems

iPadOS, iOS 17 through 18 and back to the beginning.

My Question or Issue

A working “Home” screen widget with three buttons to Play/Pause/Skip. Preferably 2x4, 3x5. I have my devices stuck on everything from planes to bicycles and need something I can tap quickly without the unnecessary stuff. Think glove friendly!

Thanks!!

Hey there @opuscontinuum! Thanks for posting here in the Community!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to control music playback through the widgets currently. However, you can support this idea by adding your +VOTE here and clicking on Subscribe in the three-dots menu at the top right corner next to the title.

This way, you'll stay up-to-date with any relevant updates about this feature.

Hope this helps. We'll be here if you need further help.

This new UX makes me so angry! I have tried itunes for 2 months just to find out what it was or how it was working, and after the second purchase i could not even stay with them i just bought again spotify subscription and when i came back i found out that play/pause is gone from the homescreen and several UI components are changed and geuss what? It is becoming similar as Itunes and that app is worth nothing. Please bring back simple UX and do a better research what users want
