Wow, this only works for songs (and it's left) but not podcast episodes (my main use case). I had no idea you could do this! If I have to blame someone, I blame snapchat for making "unknown UX controls as something for users to discover" as the main pusher of the UI trend.

Rather than sending me marketing materials, I wish companies would send power users tips/tricks. Would definitely read those emails.

I don't use Spotify for anything other than music so wasn't aware of this limitation, but on Android it is definitely swiping right.

That rubbish that it's different per platform.
