Repeat button has disappeared

_ricky26 — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 14:11:17 GMT

As far as I can tell, since the UI refresh, I can't repeat a single song any more.

(Also, changing the like icon from a heart to a screw head is exceptionally poor UX.)

Hey @_ricky26,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

We appreciate the feedback you included in your message. With the new UI, you should be able keep using the repeat feature. The button is located next to the Play button in the Now playing view using a Premium subscription. In this case, we'd first recommend performing a clean reinstall of the app by following the steps in this article.

If the issue persists, include in your next response a screenshot of the missing button, along with the make, model, OS version and Spotify version you're currently running on your device.

We'll be on the lookout.

For me the Repeat one button on my Android app has gone, too.

On the PC Windows app it I can see it is still there.

Now, one hour later, I checked again since I wanted to identify the app version and super strangely I can access it again. This is so creepy.... Same finger used, no alcohol or drugs consumed, same button pressed one time, twice, three times...

Tested it both on album and playlist. Can not explain what has happend or why.

It’s December 21 2024 and for some reason there is no looping button. I also can not move to any part of the song eaither and now there are in app ads (visuals) if you have any idea what’s going on could you let me know. Because I’m thinking of just deleting Spotify now

Hey there, folks,

Thanks for reaching out to the Spotify Community!

Sounds like you're using a free account with the mobile app, which doesn't officially support the Repeat feature at the moment (you should still see it if you use your phone as a remote while playing from your PC).

We’re regularly looking for opportunities to enhance the user experience for everyone though, so your feedback on this is greatly appreciated. In the meantime, make sure you're always running the latest version of Spotify so you don't miss out on any updates.

The Community is here if there's anything else you need assistance with.

Take care 💚

I'm using a paid membership account and no longer have the option to loop an album on repeat. This function was so critical to having my baby nap to his favorite napping music! Is it possible to restore it?

I also have the premium version. I can access the loop button on my TV, but not my android phone or tab. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesn't change anything.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the replies,

For anyone who has a Premium account and is missing the repeat function, could you please let us know the following so that we can take a closer look at this:

When did this start happening?
The exact Spotify Versions you use.
What troubleshooting have you tried so far?
Screenshots or a video of the behaviour. If the files are too large to attach here in the Community, you can send them to us via Google Drive or as unlisted YouTube videos.

With this information, we’d be happy to investigate.

Keep us posted.

I have the premium version. The loop button disappears from time to time, but I am able to get it back by signing out and in twice (from all devices), per earlier suggestions in this forum. Now I have discovered that it consistently disappears immediately when I connect to a speaker via Spotify connect.

It’s not free account, it’s paid subscription. And it’s not like it’s never worked before. The loop function as always been there but suddenly it’s gone. It’s happened before for me, probably in the time this original post was, 2023, but then it was ok again, now it’s happened again. The loop button is there, but you can only click once for whole playlist/album loop, but cannot click again for a single track loop. Once you press the second time it goes back to no loop, and so on and so forth. Playlist of lost of songs, but no single track repeat ability. Not exactly something that be shown in screenshot but has to be screen record to show it.
