How can I stop songs from repeating?

The songs in my playlists in Apple Music keep repeating, and I can’t correct it because the Repeat button disappeared. I only have Play and Shuffle. Please advise.

Hey there, sallycoats,

I see that you're not able to turn off Repeat mode inside of Apple Music. I'm happy to give you a hand with this, I use Apple Music every day and it's definitely important to be able to choose how your music is playing back.

To start, I want to make sure that we've gone over the basics of how the shuffle, repeat and play buttons work in Apple Music on iOS. These features are described in detail in a support article titled Play, repeat, and shuffle music :

On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device

On your iOS or Android device, you can turn on shuffle in two places and repeat in one:

  • At the top of any playlist or album, you'll see a User uploaded file Shuffle button to the right of User uploaded file Play. Tap User uploaded file Shuffle to start playback of the music in random order. The color of the button won't change.
  • 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.
You can see an illustrated guide by clicking through to the article in the link above.

I hope that this helps you get repeat disabled and get back to enjoying your music!

Cheers.
