Spotify is ditching the heart icon for an dual-purpose plus button

<p><a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/spotify/">Spotify[/url] is waving goodbye to its heart icon. The company is combining the icon, which enables you to quickly save music to your library, with the &quot;add to playlist&quot; prompt under a single plus button.</p><p>The plus button works a little differently on Spotify than it does on Apple Music, where tapping it a second time on an album or playlist downloads it to your device. When you tap Spotify's plus button once, you'll add a song, playlist, podcast or audiobook to your library. The plus button will then turn into a green check. If you tap the checkmark on the Now Playing view, you'll be able to add the song or podcast episode to a playlist rather than just saving it to your Liked Songs or Your Episodes.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><figure><img src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2023-02/62412610-b6c6-11ed-bb3f-4b90bd8cc42b" alt="Screenshots of Spotify's plus button feature.

It'll be available to all Spotify users in the coming weeks.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/spotify-is-ditching-the-heart-icon-for-an-dual-purpose-plus-button-181600380.html?src=rss
