    So Spotify in their infinite wisdom have removed the android widget so you have to use the notification drop down.
    Anyone have any alternatives?

    TBH I never used the widget, lockscreen controls were enough for me.
    Are they an option for you?

    Use face unlock so unless I look away it's not much use 😂

    Does the screen open to your homescreen with the facial unlock? Mine just allows you to swipe once the face is verified. So skipping songs on spotify is no issue.

    I thought it was my phone originally. I can't believe someone in their infinite wisdom would think it was a good idea !!

    I cancelled my subscription and went back to Google Play Music.

    Users can vote on Spotify forums to bring it back to future versions:
