Q: "Add to Up Next" in Music App iOS 10

The "add to up next" was a great feature in iOS 9 where you can just select music and to your queue which would play the songs in that order.

 

iOS 10 seems to have removed this feature. The only thing that is available is the "play next" feature and when you select additional music, they get queued ahead of the previous ones I have selected.

 

Am I missing something or did iOS 10 really removed this feature?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10

    I believe if you click and hold on the song and select "Play Later" it adds it to the end of your play next queue. Unfortunately one thing I find annoying is if you were playing an album or playlist it will add it after those songs, where previously "Add to up next" would add them ahead of what was playing.

    There is a "Play Next" option it seems: https://9to5mac.com/2016/06/13/new-ios-10-music-app-design/

     

    Yes, the 3D touch stuff is nice; but it's not immediately obvious like the old "..." was.

    I'm having the same issue. Only in certain playlists and artists am I able to find the option for Play Later, generally I am only shown the Play Next option. This plays the songs in the opposite order, the first song you select to Play Next ends up at the bottom of the list. I am hoping someone can figure out why this is happening. If enough posts are made Apple will release an update to fix this issue like they did with Camera Roll!

    I think, hope, it's a bug.  Do this to see the "play later" option which works as before but without shuffle:

    1. Turn off shuffle from the "up next" screen then close the music app, don't just exit the app

    2. Open the music app then 3D touch, press and hold, a song and select "play next"

    3. 3D touch another song, you will now see the "play later" option.  Selecting play later will add it as before to the bottom of your up next list.   The "play later" option will now be there for all other songs.

     

    However, you will not have shuffle availabl... Apple please fix this

    Thanks... but this didn't work for me. Still no Play Later option, with or without shuffle. Really hope this gets fixed in the 10.1 update.

    Thank you for this! I thought i was losing my mind. The "Play Next" option is certainly a victim of a bug here. Completely exiting the app (as in double clicking the home button to bring up multitasking and swiping the app away) looks to be only way to restore functionality.

    Thanks for this. Same as you this is my favorite feature and I couldn't work out why Play Later shows sometimes and not others. Seems to relate to the way songs are added to queue and the queue being a limited number, so if it is full you get no Play Later option. Tapping a song on a playlist seems to add the whole playlist below that song and so fills up the queue.

    Was going to switch to Spotify but now I have a workaround I will live with this and hope that Apple fixes it
