Just updated my iPhone 6 to OS 8.4 and very disappointed to find I can no longer shuffle my songs. Why did they change this?
You can shuffle in albums and playlists, though not, apparently just in the Songs list.
Actually you can. Select Songs and start playing any song. A small bar comes up just above the menu at the bottom showing the song playing, the artist, and album. Place your finger in that area and slide up. You will see the album art for the song and now at the bottom you have the options for shuffle and repeat.
As AKRBTN says you can only shuffle in albums and playlists. I don't seem to have a songs list anyway apart from in Albums and Playlists. Maybe I'll try making a playlist of all my songs and then shuffle from there.
Well in the end I made up a playlist of all my songs and then selected shuffle.. All seems to work now. Bit of a pia though.
I tested the method I described above and it absolutely works. There is no need to create a playlist with all your songs. Shuffling can be done by album, artist, song, or genre as before. The way to do it is just different than what everyone is used to.
