Add an "are you sure you want to delete" prompt when deleting a playlist

Pain

When I was trying to select a playlist on the Android app, the app didn't seem to be responding, so I tapped again. Unfortunately, the playlist was in the same location as the delete button, so a millisecond before I tapped the second time, it opened the playlist, and my second tap deleted the playlist.

Suggested solution

You could add a prompt when the user presses the delete button on a playlist saying, "Are you sure you want to delete this playlist?", maybe with an input to enter the playlist's title to confirm the deletion.

Another way of looking at this is to have a trash system where you could get you playlist back from... just a thought

Sorry that you had to lose your playlist. This is a critical UX issue that should have been addressed before, but somehow it got unnoticed. There should be confirmation for all sorts of destructive behaviours.

@Ocean-OS, I'm not sure if you know about this, but you can actually instantly recover playlists deleted in last 90 days.

Take a look at this article. You can basically go to www.spotify.com/account & then click "Recover playlists" (https://www.spotify.com/us/account/recover-playlists/)

I hope, that this will help.
