Apple Music in Shuffle Mode

Has anyone noticed that you cannot tell directly whether Apple Music on the iPhone is playing in Shuffle mode on the iPhone?

For update: Is it possible to highlight it or tick or something?

Greetings, Soapy-64.


I see that you'd like to be able to obtain a visual queue that the music you're listening to in the Music application on your iOS device is set to shuffle or not. I'm happy to help.


Play, repeat, and shuffle music -- You'll need to open the player to check for the Shuffle icon.

When you play music, a player appears at the bottom or lower-right corner of the screen. Tap the player to open Now Playing, then scroll up. You'll find User uploaded file Shuffle and User uploaded file Repeat buttons above Lyrics. The color of the buttons changes if you have shuffle or repeat turned on.


Take care!
