Hey folks,

 

"Playing recommended songs for you" is caused by the Autoplay feature. There's currently an issue with Autoplay that was originally reported here and is being looked into by our tech teams. It seems that Autoplay on desktop is controlling the feature's behavior across all platforms, so try disabling it on the desktop app to see if that does the trick.

 

@Webrenner, if your playlist has less than 15 tracks in it, the mobile app will add similar songs to extend its duration. To get rid of them, you have to add more songs to your playlist. More info on the mobile app's experience for Free users here.

 

Hope this clears things up. Cheers!

Can you please allow removal of the new feature that has been enabled that adds songs you think I might want into the playlist I am using thus destroying my listening pleasure.  Not happy. Just added no asking if its what I want.

It didn’t work for me because it says I need Premium to do it

I absolutely hate this feature!  I want to permanently delete the "playing recommended songs for you" option.  It is playing more songs that are not on my playlist than the ones that are actually on there!  I have done as recommended and turned off the shuffle option..funny enough, about 6 seconds later it comes back on all by itself!  I feel like I am fighting with my phone.  Please please get rid of this!

Keep pressing the green intertwined arrows next to the play/pause button until it reads “recommendations removed”
You’re welcome
God Bless

I have many many times.  It automatically pops back up on in 6-10 seconds.  It won't stay off.

Sounds frustrating!!
You can also chat with Spotify. Sounds like you have a different version than me

please stop suggesting songs to me after i have finished all the songs on my playlist, it is very annoying and i just want to listen to the same songs on repeat, not with suggestions straight after. i find it very frustrating and irritating so i think others do as well. please get it sorted. 😊💕 

Rather than playing songs of my selected artists, Spotify starts playing ‘songs recommended for you’. I tried turning off ‘auto play similar content’ but that meant that the songs of the artist I was trying to play stopped playing after one song.

Did you try touching the green intertwined arrows next to the play button several times? My version has 3 choices when I press them.

One choice removes recommendations
