[AutoPlay] Option to toggle Autoplay on/off across all devices/platforms

[nirshtuhl]

The Autoplay setting isn't working for connected devices and the web player. We need the Autoplay setting to work the same as it does on desktop and when playing on the phone.

Why is this a thing?????? If there’s any device I want it turned off on, it’s the device I’m playing music on when I’m going to sleep or trying to. But I literally cannot turn it off on the google devices.

Good to see the devs have acknowledged this ticket and that the desktop app solution appears to be working. Something to work with ✌️

Is there a timeline for when this is coming to app? Who uses desktop these days...

what the fricking **bleep**. everything was working so well on the web player and then as of today it seems Spotify has decided it is time to autoplay whatever insanity they think will go well with the album i just listened to. Why do these companies do this. I dont want to download your terrible software. I use the web browser version. I feel like this is a stupid ploy to get us to switch to desktop version. Looks like they made all the icons like rounder or something too. very worthwhile 'update' making things more frustrating to use.

Hey folks,

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

We're happy to announce that the option to manage Autoplay has been released for the desktop and now for the mobile app too.

Once you have the latest version installed, you will find it as "Autoplay on other devices" in the Settings menu and it will apply globally for connected devices and the web player. 

Note that you will need to log in and toggle the setting on or off on either the PC/Mac or Smartphone apps, but once done you can continue using Spotify on whichever platform you prefer and the setting you chose will be reflected accurately.

Once again, thanks for helping us make Spotify better, by participating here on the Community.

We're happy too!

3 months, 8 days, 21 hours and 22 minutes to get it done though

The fact that there's no way to turn this off for the web app and Sonos is driving me insane. Between this and Spotify's general refusal to be responsive to user feedback, I expect I'll be canceling soon unless things improve.

Hi there @shutter41,

Thank you for your reply in this thread. We'd like to explain how this works to you.

We can confirm that the setting to control Autoplay behavior on all platforms, including the Web Player is now rolled out to the desktop and mobile apps.

Activating the setting will require the installation of one of these apps, logging in and toggling it on/off once.

After you're done you should be able to continuing using Spotify on whichever platform you prefer.

We hope that this information was helpful 🙂

Take care!

Hey folks,

The "Autoplay" setting was recently updated. The single "Autoplay" setting in the desktop and mobile apps will now enable or disable Autoplay across all devices on your account. This change makes it easier to manage instead of there being 2 different settings.

You only need to change the Autoplay setting in one of the apps, either desktop or mobile, and it will apply to your account on all devices including the Web Player and Spotify Connect devices.

You can read the support article for more information about the Autoplay feature.
