What problem does this address?

Currently, we cannot disable the swipe feature in the Android App, I often trigger it by mistake and it is not a pleasant experience.

What is your proposed solution?

An option to disable swipe feature in settings.

Did you search for existing feature suggestions?

I'm not an Android users -- is there a different gesture available that a user may want to use accomplish the gated actions?

I will mention a few, not sure if this is Android only:

  • If I want to go to the home screen or open recent Apps, the swipe from the middle bottom triggers the queue or the now playing. And then the screen gets stuck in that position. I have to open another App from the notification in order to make it stay on the screen without opening anything else.
  • If I am just browsing the App then sometimes it just triggers the swipe right/left queue/archive feature which I do not want.

Hence, an option to disable the swipes in the App would be very helpful.
