My Question or Issue

Is there any way to disable the "Up Next" feature from popping up at top right? I like to listen to playlists on shuffle and not know what the next song is going to be, but the "Up Next" feature completely undercuts that. Thanks for your help!

This is so annoying it just started happening to me too. Every 30 seconds “up next” notification.

Hey @sleepymonk and @swazee,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Community!

There's currently no way to disable that pop-up unfortunately, however, we appreciate your feedback as it provides an interesting insight into a different use case which helps us improve the app and the service in general. 

If you think that other Spotify users might support the idea of a toggle for that feature, feel free to submit your suggestion in our Ideas board.

We hope this helps. Let us know if there's anything else you wish to address.

This needs to be turned off or be allowed to be turned off, especially if you want to expand the video podcast capabilities. It’s so incredibly distracting during an hour long+ podcast that it keeps popping up on top of the video.  Stop making horrible UI changes to the app (like moving where the library button has been for a decade) and fix an issue like this

Please remove this annoying change. It is very distracting and disruptive to the flow and focus and appreciation of a podcast to be visually interrupted every 30 seconds with the same message popping up over and over again. I’ll now have to seek other sources (not Spotify) to enjoy watching and listening to podcasts in peace.
