Hey, mbk of fl.


I see you're unable to shuffle the music you've selected to play from the Music application on your iPhone 6s Plus after updating it to iOS 11.3.1. I'm happy to help.


Play, repeat, and shuffle music -- Make sure the shuffle button turns red when engaged.

Shuffle songs

Open the Now Playing screen and scroll down.

Tap User uploaded file 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 User uploaded file. To turn it off, tap the button until you see User uploaded file.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- If the issue persists, restart your iPhone. Once it's returned to the Home screen, test the issue.


How to delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch -- If you're still not able to shuffle the songs in the music library on your iPhone, delete the Music application and reinstall it again. Any music that you've downloaded to play while offline will need to redownload it again.


Take care!
