Spotify announced it’s killing off the heart icon today. But don’t worry, it’s all for a higher purpose.
Before, you had the heart icon “to mark songs you wanted to save,” Spotify says in a blog post, and the “Add to Playlist” icon to add tracks or episodes to your favorite playlist.
From now on, you will have a plus icon instead. When you press plus, you can save and choose the destination for any song, playlist or podcast, with just a tap.
To save a song or podcast episode, tap the plus button. After your choice is successfully added to Liked Songs or Your Episodes, the plus sign will turn into a green checkmark. Tapping the green checkmark will allow you to change the destination of the saved content. By clicking more you can also add an entire album, playlist or audiobook to your library.
Spotify says this is the latest step in an ongoing effort to “create a more intuitive experience, which leads to an easier way to engage with the music and podcasts you love.”
The new plus icon/button is rolling out today to all users on iOS and Android and will be available on other platforms “in the coming weeks.”
