How do I delete songs off of my playlists in the newest version of spotify?

It won't allow me to slide and delete songs or edit my playlists. How do I fix this or is there another way to delete songs?

Hey there! The newest version still uses the slide feature to delete songs. I just tried and it worked for me. Have you attempted a clean reinstallation of the application?

Give this a shot and let us know if it works. Cheers!

This doesn't work. I reinstalled the app on iOS and it didn't work. The problem isn't on the computer so I saw no need for a clean reinstallation. It won't allow me to slide and delete on my device.

The notes for the iPhone App release explained how to delete songs...if that's not working on your phone, then I recommend reaching out directly to Spotify Support. They can be reached through their Twitter Page @SpotifyCares or through the online contact form.

Make sure to check your inbox and junk folder for an email from Spotify. Once you get it, make sure to reply back right away, even if it says it's from a "no-reply" email. This will assign your case to a Spotify rep and you should hear back within 24 hours.

Cheers!

There is now an edit button!
Thank you for your help.

I ran into the same issue, which was especially problematic as I try to clear space for iOS 8. Would have been nice for Spotify to alert users of the change to an Edit mode, either via release notes or in-app messaging.

That'd be a great suggestion for the Ideas Board!

I have this problem on my androids. Is there a way to get to edit on my devices?

You actually have to go to the three dots in the top right corner and scroll down. Edit should be there and then you can change your songs. That's at least what works for me on iOS

I have thousands of songs on my Spotify playlist. Why isn't there an option to remove a song from a particular playlist when I select it? In other words, currently on all devices, I have to click edit and manually scroll to find the song amongst thousands of songs, then delete it. There HAS to be another way. If there is one, please let me know. If there isn't one, Spotify should fix this problem ASAP as more and more people will complain when there playlists get bigger.

Thank you.

This is a real problem. On mobile devices deleting a song from a playlist takes ages. It must be addressed so you can delete a sing currently playing

The artist name and title disappear when this is done....but the songs play on. My playlist says 104 songs, but there is over 130.

Terrible UX. Your app overall is great but this feature is terrible. The person who created the workflow should be fired.
