My Question or Issue
How can you view play history on an Ipad? And why does the back button often just repeat the last song? So annoying.
Hey @SaroGFX, thanks for reaching out to the Community!
You can view Play Queue and History if you have a Premium subscription following these steps.
Also, that's expected. The first time you tap to go back starts the song over if it's already been playing for a while. The second time you tap to go back, it goes to the previous song. If this is something you'd like to see change, you can always create a new Idea about this here, and I'll also pass your feedback on to the right folks.
I'll be here if you need anything else!
Hey @SaroGFX,
Ok got it.
I'm afraid there isn't an official way to see the history on a mobile device but there is a live idea for that here. However, I'd recommend checking out this workaround that shows you the history when you start creating a new playlist.
You also mentioned the back button not working as intended. Could you try restarting the device? If that doesn't help, then I'd recommend a reinstall of the app following these steps to see if that makes a difference.
Good news!
The new "Recently Played" section is rolling out to the mobile app in the home tab. Here you will be able to see up to 3 months of listening history. Look for the clock icon in the top right corner of the home tab.
