Turning Off Spotify's Autoplay Feature

Autoplay keeps the music going with similar tracks after your playlist ends. Here’s how to disable it:

How to Disable Autoplay:

• Access Your Settings:

  • Open Spotify and go to the home screen.

  • Tap your profile picture in the top left corner.

• Go to Settings:

  • Select 'Settings' from the menu.

• Find Playback Settings:

  • Scroll down to 'Playback.'

• Locate and Toggle Off Autoplay:

  • Find 'Autoplay Similar Content' at the bottom.

  • If the toggle is green, tap it to turn it off.

  • The toggle will turn gray, indicating Autoplay is disabled.

Disable Autplay in your Spotify settings

By disabling Autoplay, Spotify will stick to the songs in your playlists without adding similar tracks at the end.

These simple adjustments ensure your Spotify experience is tailored to your preferences, letting you enjoy your music without unexpected interruptions.

• How do I stop Spotify from shuffling my playlists?

  To prevent Spotify from automatically shuffling your playlists, open the Now-Playing screen, find the shuffle icon (two intersecting arrows), and tap it to turn off shuffle mode. The icon will change from green to gray, indicating that songs will now play in order.

• Can I disable Spotify from playing songs not in my playlist?

  Yes, you can stop Spotify from playing songs not in your playlist by turning off the Autoplay feature. Go to your profile, select ‘Settings and Privacy’, scroll to 'Playback', and toggle off 'Autoplay Similar Content’.

• Will turning off Autoplay affect my Spotify recommendations?

  Disabling Autoplay does not affect your Spotify recommendations. It simply stops automatic playback of similar songs after your playlist ends, giving you full control over what plays next.

• Is it possible to re-enable Shuffle and Autoplay on Spotify?

  Absolutely! You can easily re-enable Shuffle by tapping the shuffle icon again until it turns green. To turn Autoplay back on, follow the same steps under 'Playback' settings and toggle 'Autoplay Similar Content' to on.

• How do I ensure Spotify plays songs in the exact order I set?

  Ensure Shuffle is turned off and Autoplay is disabled. This setup will make Spotify stick to playing your songs in the sequence you’ve arranged without introducing random tracks.
