Music streaming giant Spotify has made changes to its user interface that many users are frustrated with.

A recent update to remove the green heart icon that appears next to previously-raved songs in track listings has caused quite a stir among users.

Spotify has removed the green heart icon

Some users have reported this issue to express their frustration on platforms and forums such as Reddit (1,2,3).

I don’t like how I can’t see the green heart next to the song in the app 🙁 Now I have to slide it to see if it’s really in the song I like. So, I read that they were going to bring that feature back, but that’s too much trouble.

If Spotify removes likes, you’ll have to switch platforms. They better plan some FIRE sh*** with the removal of this feature.

Spotify users are accustomed to seeing a green heart icon next to their favorite songs.

This feature not only allowed users to keep track of their favorite songs, but also made it easier to quickly identify and access these songs from various albums and playlists.

But with the new update, the green heart icon has been removed, preventing users from easily distinguishing previously liked songs.

Luckily, according to an FAQ on the Spotify community forums, the ability to view previously liked songs in the track list will soon return. However, it is unknown whether the green heart icon remains.

The ability to view previously liked songs will soon return to the track list. (playlist and album pages) I don’t know yet if this icon will remain a green heart. Our team is currently working to improve this experience.

Additionally, no specific date was provided as to when the functionality will be restored.

The removal of the green heart feature highlights the importance of user experience and the impact that seemingly small changes can have on user satisfaction.

As Spotify continues to evolve and introduce new features, it’s important to consider how these changes affect our users.

We hope Spotify will address this issue soon. But until then, as always, keep your eyes peeled for further developments as they are announced.
