How Do You Disable Smart Shuffle on Spotify?

Struggling with Smart Shuffle? Here’s How to Turn It Off Fast!

Smart Shuffle on Spotify can be a helpful feature, but sometimes it gets in the way. It adds songs Spotify thinks you’ll like into your playlist shuffle. That’s fine if you’re open to exploring new music, but it can be frustrating when you just want to stick to your own playlist.

Here’s how you can disable it:

Steps to Disable Smart Shuffle on Spotify

1. Start by opening the playlist you want to listen to or the player screen.
2. Look at the bottom-left corner of the screen for the Shuffle button.
3. Check the Icon’s State:
   • If the icon is gray, Smart Shuffle is off.
   • If it’s active (colorful), Smart Shuffle is on.
4. Tap the Shuffle button once. This will turn off Smart Shuffle and set it to normal Shuffle mode.
5. If needed, tap again until you see it switch back to regular Shuffle (gray icon).

That’s it! Now, your playlist will play only the songs you’ve added without Spotify mixing in extra tracks.

Key Points

• Smart Shuffle: Adds recommended songs similar to your playlist.
• Normal Shuffle: Plays only your selected tracks in random order.
• Toggle Control: A single tap switches between modes.

By following these simple steps, you’ll have full control over your playlists again.
