PSA: Spotify has removed the homescreen widget as of the latest update

Official post [here](https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Android-Widget-Removal/td-p/4800301).

But don't worry! They're sending our feedback to the right folks! 🙄...

Got my Zenfone 6, here's some things I didn't hear from reviewers.

Got it from Gearbest on the 23rd and received it yesterday. Upgraded from a 1+3T.

Windows 10 My Phone app now supports notification replies

I am unsure when this change happened, but I am now able to reply to Whatsapp notifications directly from the Windows Action Center.
