[Mobile] [Other] Smart Shuffle toggle setting in settings menu

Smart shuffle is a fun way to discover new songs, but it comes at a cost. Want to reshuffle your queue? Bam, wait a few seconds longer. Want to unshuffle your playlist? Bam, no longer works, and goes to a completely random place in the playlist.

 

To me this is an unwanted complication, and I'd much rather be able to choose in the settings menu whether I want to enable the Smart Shuffle feature, or disable it.

Cheers & many thanks for your input 🙂 Stay tuned for new updates 🙌🏼

Thank you. This is absolutely the worst feature in Spotify history.

 

Now please implement the ability to disable it in Windows desktop app.

 

Also, please just make all future ideas optional. The create playlist was another awful idea and it took forever to remove it.
