Spotify says goodbye to the heart icon. The company decided to combine the icon that allows you to quickly save music to your library with the “add to playlist” command under one plus button.
The plus button works a little differently in Spotify than it does in Apple Music; The second time you tap on an album or playlist, it downloads to your device. With one tap of Spotify’s plus button, you add a song, playlist, podcast or audiobook to your library. The plus button then turns into a green checkmark. If you tap the checkmark in the Now Playing view, you can add the song or podcast episode to a playlist instead of just saving it to your Favorite Songs or Episodes.
The plus button is now available in Spotify’s iOS and Android apps. It will be available to all Spotify users in the coming weeks.
