My Question or Issue

I just want to use normal shuffle but every time I change tabs to something else or look away, it switches from normal shuffle over to smart shuffle and I have to turn it off again. Then, if I pause my song and turn off shuffle altogether, it turns smart shuffle right back on as soon as I hit play for no reason. My version of spotify is fully up to date, I don't know how to stop this, and I don't like using smart shuffle on any of my playlists

Hey @bikiniweekend @tzar25 @Shandroff 

Good news! Spotify has listened to user feedback and you can now disable Smart Shuffle from the mobile app settings, as mentioned in this now implemented idea. This setting will also be added to the desktop app in a future update.

Steps to disable Smart Shuffle in the mobile app:

1: Tap on your profile picture at the top left corner

2: Tap on Settings and privacy

3: Tap on Playback

4: Switch Include Smart Shuffle in play modes off

Note: This is for Premium users only and right now it's only available in the mobile app, but in a future update, there will be a setting to disable Smart Shuffle in the desktop app as well.
