How to Remove Shuffle Mode on Spotify on Mobile without Premium in 2024

Removing shuffle mode on Spotify mobile without a Premium subscription isn’t officially supported as Spotify enforces shuffle mode for free users on playlists and albums with more than 15 songs. However, there are a few workarounds you can try:

      • Tap on the “Your Library” tab at the bottom of the screen.
      • Tap on the “Create Playlist” button.
      • Give your playlist a name and tap “Create.”

Add Songs to the Playlist

      • Search for the songs you want to add by tapping the “Search” tab and entering the song title, artist, or album.
      • Once you find a song you like, tap the three dots next to it.
      • Select “Add to Playlist” and choose the playlist you just created.
      • Repeat this process until you have added up to 15 songs to your playlist.

Play the Playlist

      • Go to “Your Library” and select the playlist you created.
      • Tap on the first song to start playing it.
      • With fewer than 15 songs, Spotify often allows you to play them in order without shuffle.

By keeping your playlist short, you might be able to bypass the shuffle mode restriction and enjoy your music in the order you prefer.

Play Specific Songs

Search for and play specific songs directly. While this won’t let you disable shuffle for entire playlists or albums, you can listen to individual songs in order.To play specific songs on Spotify without using shuffle mode as a free user, follow these steps:

Open Spotify

Search for a Specific Song:

      • Tap on the “Search” tab at the bottom.
      • Type the name of the song, artist, or album you want to listen to in the search bar.
      • Select the song from the search results.

      • Open the Spotify app on your mobile device.

Search for the Song:

      • Tap on the “Search” icon at the bottom of the screen.
      • Type in the song title, for example, “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd.
      • Look through the search results and tap on the specific song you want.

Play the Song:

      • Tap the play button next to the song title.
      • The song should start playing directly.

Tips to Enhance Your Experience

Add to Playlist:

      • If you find you can play a song directly, consider adding it to a custom playlist with fewer than 15 songs for easier access.

Create a Shortcut:

      • Add your frequently played songs to your favorites or a specific playlist for quick access.

Use Voice Commands:

      • If you have a voice assistant (like Google Assistant or Siri), you can use voice commands to play specific songs on Spotify.

By following these steps, you can enjoy specific songs without being forced into shuffle mode. This method doesn’t completely remove shuffle for playlists, but it allows for more direct control over individual tracks.

Use Third-Party Apps

There are third-party apps and tools that claim to offer more control over Spotify playback. Be cautious with these as they might violate Spotify’s terms of service or compromise your account security.

Using third-party apps to add music to your WhatsApp status involves the following steps:

Select one of the video editing apps mentioned earlier, like InShot or Kinemaster.

Create or Edit Your Video:

      • Open the app and start a new project.
      • Import the video you want to use for your WhatsApp status.
      • Add the music you want to the video. Most apps let you choose from their library or import your own tracks.

Edit Your Video:

      • Adjust the music’s length and position to fit your video.
      • Use additional features like filters, text, or transitions if desired.

Export the Video:

      • Once you’re satisfied with the video, export it in a format supported by WhatsApp (usually MP4).

Upload to WhatsApp:

      • Open WhatsApp and go to the Status tab.
      • Tap on the “My Status” button to upload your newly edited video.
      • This way, you can customize your WhatsApp status with the music and style you prefer!

Update the App

Ensure your Spotify app is updated to the latest version as sometimes features and restrictions may change with updates. Ultimately, subscribing to Spotify Premium is the most reliable way to gain full control over playback, including disabling shuffle mode.

Here’s how to update Spotify on your device:

    • For iOS (iPhone/iPad):
      • Open the App Store.
      • Tap your profile icon at the top right.
      • Scroll down to find Spotify under “Available Updates.”
      • Tap “Update” next to Spotify.

For Android:

      • Open the Google Play Store.
      • Tap the three horizontal lines (menu) in the top left corner.
      • Tap “My apps & games.”Find Spotify in the list and tap “Update” next to it.

For Windows/Mac:

      • Open the Spotify app.
      • Click on your profile name in the top-right corner.
      • Select “About Spotify.”
      • If an update is available, you’ll see a prompt to install it. Follow the instructions to complete the update.

In 2022, to remove shuffle mode on Spotify without a premium subscription, you would need to manually disable it each time you start playing a song.

On mobile, open the playlist or album you want to listen to, and once it starts playing, tap the “Shuffle” button (it looks like two crossing arrows) to turn it off.

This action only affects the current session, and you will need to repeat it every time you start a new playlist or album. Without a premium account, you can’t lock shuffle mode off permanently; it’s a limitation of the free tier.
