You Can Finally Disable One of Spotify's Worst-Ever Features
1 min read
Summary
Spotify has allowed users to remove smart shuffle, a feature that was added to the platform in 2023 with the aim of recommending new tracks to users based on their listening history.
The removal of the feature can be beneficial for users who feel that the algorithm isn’t accurate in terms of selecting tracks they would enjoy, and offers the option for greater control over the playlist feature.
Spotify’s standard shuffle feature is also available for users who prefer to remove smart shuffle, but this may also be disabled going forward.
The ability to disable smart shuffle is currently being rolled out to users, so may not be available to all users yet.

Spotfiy users can disable the smart shuffle feature on the platform’s ‘Playback’ settings page.
The ability to turn off smart shuffle may be useful for users who feel the feature is not accurate enough with track selections, or those who accidentally enable the feature unwanted.
