How to stop songs repeat in iOS 10

I use iPhone 6Plus recently upgraded to iOS 10. It feels terrible for songs in the Music to be in continuous play. How can I stop songs repeating?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.0.1

This was painful to figure out. I don't know why it has to be so complicated and the interface has to change with every OS update.


On the iPad, it looks nothing like what's in the OP. You have to swipe up on the playlist, but it only works in a certain view and I don't even know how to describe it. I spent more than an hour just swiping this way and that, randomly guessing at which series of magical gestures would do the trick. Finally found the shuffle and repeat buttons - hugely oversized and then hidden off screen, so you have to swipe up to see them.

This was also driving me nuts! I tired the photo example - rolled the screen up (using finger in middle screen), but it did not show the repeat/shuffle options..😠


To resolve this i deleted next songs - then repeated the above exercise and whollah... it showed the repeat/shuffle options. my repeat was bright red for active - i touched it and it went pale for option off.. Then repeat ceased amd i could again enjoy an entire album on normal play mode. hurrah... 🙂

Hello Adeyeye,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding you're needing help stopping songs from repeating in Apple Music. I listen to Apple Music daily, I surely understand how important it is to have access to playing options. I am happy to help.

Up Next, Shuffle, and Repeat

Also on the Now Playing screen, you can rewind, pause, or fast forward a song, control the volume, read song lyrics, and more.

Swipe up on Now Playing to show your Up Next queue, which lists all of the songs that you’ve selected for playback.

Drag songs with User uploaded file to rearrange the order, or swipe left to remove a song that you’d like to skip.

Tap User uploaded file to the right of Up Next to shuffle the songs in a playlist or album.

Tap User uploaded file once to play an entire playlist or album on repeat or twice to repeat one song. Tap User uploaded file a third time to clear the repeat.

If you have repeat turned on, you might not see User uploaded file .

Use Apple Music in the Music app

Have a great day!
