How can I disable "skip when shaken" for podcasts/music on iPhone?

How do I disable the feature "skip when shaken" on my (new) iPhone 6s? There no longer appears to be this option in the Settings for Music or Podcasts. I have a broken leg, and I have to hop once in awhile on one foot. It's very annoying to have the podcast I'm listening to suddenly switch to a different one whenever I hop abruptly.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.1

Now that I look in my own Settings, I don't see it, either. That said, I also am not able to shuffle my songs by shaking them. I wonder what could be causing the issue on yours...maybe try reinstalling your iOS software?


You can do that by connecting the phone to iTunes with your USB cable, then clicking Restore > Update. This shouldn't remove data from the phone, but back up just in case: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
