Apple music: ‘play next’ button gone in IOS 13?

I must be going crazy...I’m doing the same actions and now it appears. There has been no update to my iPhone since yesterday when I posted my reply and now the “Play Next” and “Play Later” options are in the menu. #Software

What I have figured out is that the play next and play later options are hidden automatically when the device is connected to another player. So if I have my iPhone plugged in to my stereo via USB it is reading as an iPod and doesn't allow play later, if I have it plugged in via 3.5mm it is just an audio out and allows for the functionality.

I would guess this is some kind of old limitation in the iPod read standard.

To be clear, are you referring to, “ Up Next”? . That is there under the song title - three lines, tap that. Tap again to close.

“ Play next” would be the controls >>.

It’s actually NOT there. It’s only there when something is ALREADY PLAYING. But if you want to start off playing 1 song so you can add more behind it, you now have to click the song, then manually erase each individual song that is on the album behind it. THEN go add the songs you want to que up.

in ios 13 i can’t find the play next button when i force touch on a song. i tried looking under edit actions when you force touch a song but there is no option for it. does anyone else have this issue?

In my frustration I may have found a work-around. You are exactly right about the process. If a song is playing and you tap on a new one, it will ask you if you want to keep the up next queue or clear it. If you clear it, a new queue of songs is created instantly. Useless! NOW...if you are playing a song and then tap on the VERY LAST song in your song list, when you hit “clear up next” that song will play but the queue will be empty. Then you can use the “up next” as we used to be able to. You can select songs to “play next” or “play later” and only the songs you choose will show up. Annoying but better than having to delete everything in the queue one by one. I really hope they fix this. I want to choose what comes up next!

It’s still there but the app has changed.

im experiencing the exact same problem!

That support link shows IOS 12. It doesn’t show the updated UI for 13. When you force touch it is only showing add to playlist. Play Next and Play Later are not there...

I’m getting this with other native Apple apps, they just update themselves even further the next day. Strange.

It has been periodically appearing and reappearing for me and I can’t pinpoint what causes it. Does anyone have any new insight on this?

You’re a genius. This is what I’m actually experiencing. Please post here if you find any solutions (outside of switching cables) 🙏🏽

I’ve also been struggling with this button disappearing. I’m using iOS 13. It’s showing as available now, but earlier this evening it wasn’t.
