Why does the music app shuffle the songs on my iPhone 8 plus?

Why does the music app shuffle the songs on my iPhone 8 plus without my prompting? Some albums are meant to be heard in a certain order. iTunes/Music app, give me back control of my music please!!!

Hey there, Scotty,

Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. From your post, I understand you'd like to turn the shuffle feature off in Apple Music. I'm happy to help!

Shuffle can be turned off by swiping up on the Now Playing screen in the Music app, and tapping Shuffle, as detailed below from Play, repeat, and shuffle music - Apple Support :

Shuffle songs

Open the Now Playing screen and scroll down.

Tap to set Music to always shuffle a list of songs selected. Any album, playlist, or set of songs will play in a random order.

If shuffle is on, you'll see . To turn it off, tap the button until you see .
