My Question or Issue

Autoplay is turned off on both my desktop and phone, however, if I play a playlist on Spotify and the playlist ends, Spotify starts playing "related" songs. I hate it. I do not like or want these random songs. Once the playlist finishes, the music should just stop. Once again, yes, autoplay is turned off in the settings. Please help me because I desperately want to turn this awful feature off.

Hey there, welcome to the Spotify Community!

I understand that you want to turn off autplay. It should not play recommended songs if it is turned off. Can you share a screen recording that shows the issue that you are facing so I can understand better?

Also clear your queue in-case there is anything queued up. You can also try a clean-install of the Spotify App. To learn more about how to do that, here is a quick guide.

Keep us posted!

I also can't clear the queue, because the "clear queue" button is missing because I'm not the ones adding the songs.  I restarted the application that didn't work.  I enabled autoplay and restarted, but it didn't couldn't even retain that I enabled autoplay.  Yet, it keeps adding songs to the queue.  And I can't clear the queue because there is no "clear queue" button because it thinks autoplay is enabled.

This bug has been reported here years ago, yet here I am wasting my time reporting it again.  Fix**bleep**. Dicks.

The only thing that kinda works for me is rebooting my phone all together, and even then it's temporary

After finishing a playlist another starts playing without my consent. The new playlist has nothing to do with with music I like. Autoplay is off. How to stop this annoying madness? I am a paying customer and should be in charge of content I consume.

I want the music to stop at the end of ky selected playlist, but it keeps auto playing similar music or re starting the album. The repeat function is off also.

This is so frustrating for me and family that we're going to cancel this subscription now and switch to another music streaming service..
