Hi,

 

I've just reinstalled the app but one really useful function seems to have been removed? 

 

It's the "create shortcut in home screen" when you are looking at albums. I used to be able to add those to the home screen and click to take me directly to the album and keep on top of music I want to listen to.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hi,

It's still possible with playlists, but not with albums anymore. Only thing you could do right now is create a playlist and put all the songs from the album in the playlist. You can add it to your homescreen by going to the widget page of your home launcher, from there look for the deezer widgets and add the “Playlist” widget to your homescreen. After that it will immediately take you to a page to choose the playlist you want on your homescreen.

    Hi ​@nuggoire,

    I’ve never seen this option. Is this in iOS, Android or on a PC/Mac?

    Hi All,

     

    Thanks for the update - It’s a real shame that has gone.  Guess I will have to use the playlist function as recommended.

     

    Cheers,

    Andrew. 😁

    It is still there. At least in the version of the app that I am using (8.0.42.3)

    If you go in settings and then data and storage, there is an option "allow shortcut création in the more menu"

    Then you will have the option "Make a shortcut" in the more menu of the album page.

    On my phone I add also to explicitly allow the Deezer app to add "home screen shortcut".

    Otherwise you will click on the option in the menu but nothing will happen.

    Perfect - thanks for that, works exactly as I hoped. 😁
