How to view the previously played songs in iOS 10?

Prior to the iOS 10 update not only could you view the tracks coming "up next" but you could also look back in time at tracks played previously to the currently playing track. Has anyone figured out how to do that yet with this new update?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10

Hi "Perfect Handshake"!

Thanks for your advice. But i want back a native list of the last played song, because:

The smart playlist does not contain music played via "Radio" Function.

Its a compromise but its no substitute for a native list implemented direct in the App.


Second i am missing:

In previous versions i could "like" a song in the lock screen. And i saw the heart symbol.

Both features are gone. When listening to Radio/Playlists i never know: Did i allready "liked" this Track?

And i cant quickly like a new song from the lock screen (this is a feature i often used).


Its a pity what Apple did with these updates. They destroy all these little things we music addicted user like....

hey there, searchingforapple!

I totally agree and the way you put it is so right...

music addicts love those little niceties that enhance the whole experience and get you hooked on a service; it's the little things that make a world of a difference;

if you love music, you get it; if you don't, well, chances are you can ruin the whole thing and still don't know what we're talking about;

all my respect and love for you, true music lover, wherever you are!!!

Lets say you're listening to a playlist or radio station and you heard a song you really liked but were too busy to "love" it at the time or even check out who it was by or what it was called. There's now no way to go back and see what songs were played previous to the currently playing one. Like you said if one goes to the "For You" section and look at recently played it only displays recently played albums. Useless if you're listening to a playlist. In the previous version you could swipe one direction to see up next and swipe the opposite direction to see previously played tracks. THIS is the feature I miss!
