My Spotify isn’t playing suggested songs like it used to

[#1]

When I search a song it plays that particular song only
And changing songs every time is annoying

Hey there,

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome.

The feature that allows the app to play recommended content when you reach the end of an album, playlist, or selection of songs is Autoplay. You can double-check if the feature is enabled on your device by following the steps in this article.

If the feature is enabled, but the app is not playing suggested content, would you mind sending us the make/model and OS of the affected device along with the Spotify version you're running there?

If this is not what you meant in your post, would you mind sending us a more detailed description of exactly what is happening on your side? Please send us as much info as possible, so we can better understand the issue you encountered.

Keep us in the loop!

Hi, I have the opposite problem. I have autoplay off and I've checked several times, and I have a playlist with more than 15 songs, yet I still get suggested songs and cannot turn this off. Its a pain to try to listen to my hip-hop playlist and get conutry-pop in the middle of it. I am on Verseion 8.9.12.541 ehich seems to be the latest.

Hey @M1chlr,

Welcome to the thread!

Keep in mind that Autoplay plays similar songs when an album, playlist, or selection of songs end. As you've written that you get country-pop in the middle of your playlist, it sounds like you may have enabled the Smart Shuffle function that adds tracks to your playlists.

You can find out more info, as well as how to enable/disable it in this article. If it doesn't work, we recommend logging out > logging back in twice in a row, because this helps re-sync your Spotify-account and the device you're using.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi, I have the same issue but on an S24. My spotify version is 8.9.78.513

I miss picking a playlist and letting Spotify do its thing all day. Now it plays the same playlist over and over. I liked the suggested songs at the end of my playlist .   Know what else i miss?  Create similar playlist option.  It feels as if Spotify is trying to make things better but but I feel they're just making them worse.

I have this issue. Option is enable, but not suggested content.

model/make: iPhone 12 pro

spotify version: 9.0.20.538

Hey there @mlnguyen094,

Thanks for your reply here.

We understand that, even if the Autoplay feature is enabled on your account, when you reach the end of an album, playlist, or selection of songs, Spotify does not automatically play similar songs, correct?

If that's the case, would you mind sending us:

• A more detailed description of what's happening. Does this happen while playing some specific content such as an album or playlist, or perhaps when searching for a song?
• Have you tried additional troubleshooting, such as cleanly reinstalling the app? If yes, let us know exactly what you have tried.
• Send us a video recording of this behavior. You can attach the video to your next reply in mp4 format, or you can also upload it to YouTube or Google Drive and make it public, so we can watch it.

Keep us in the loop!

Hey @Justrhicks,

Thank you for joining the conversation.

In order to continue investigating this with internal teams, let us know the following info:

- Your device info (make/model) and OS version

- Exact Spotify version

Also, and if possible; could any of you record a short video where we can take a better look as @AlejaR previously requested? You can attach it to your next response by using the Insert Video option in the post editor. You can also upload it to YouTube or Google Drive and share the link with us (make sure the video has the permissions for anyone to see it).
 

We'll be on the lookout.
