  Hi all,

  There is a tiny feature on the Spotify Android search screen that all apps with should copy.

  When you’re on the search screen, if you touch the search tab again, please could it focus the search bar. It’s makes such a different as your finger is already there, and you don’t have to reach to the top of the screen. You can just start typing.

  Thank, Ben

  Apologies for the awful thread title. I pressed Submit early, and now I can’t edit it.

  Hi @rockingskier 👋

  When you’re on the search screen, if you touch the search tab again, please could it focus the search bar. It’s makes such a different as your finger is already there, and you don’t have to reach to the top of the screen. You can just start typing.

  Great suggestion! I imagine it’ll be a lot easier and quicker to search for a podcast with the autofocus feature. I’ve added your idea to our feature request tracker.

  Also, no worries about the thread title. I’ve edited it for you.

  Thanks again for helping us improving the app!
