My Question or Issue
A few weeks ago the playlists stopped playing songs at random. Like all of my playlists suddenly started to play the songs in order of when the song was added. Before it just played songs at random. Help!!
Thanks, that helps narrow things down a bit. Are you using a free or premium account? There are some limitations on Spotify free on mobile that don't exist in the desktop apps, such as not being able to choose a certain song to play. There are certain playlists you can listen to without shuffling, which would be the ones that don't have a blue shuffle symbol next to them, while all the others should be shuffling.

All that said, if this is happening on a premium account, I would recommend a clean reinstall and double checking that you are logged into the correct account. My understanding is that you would like to shuffle your playlists, and you should normally be seeing a green "shuffle play" button at the top of the playlists, or if you tap the currently playing song at the bottom of your screen to view the full playback controls, you can turn the shuffle function on and off that way.
