How to Clear Queue on Spotify Using iPhone, Android, and Desktop
Do you switch songs based on your mood or the work you do? If yes, you might have many songs queued on Spotify. But what if you accidentally queued a song you don’t like or want to listen to something else? Spotify offers an easy way to clear the queue. In this article, we will show you how to clear your Spotify queue.
A Spotify queue is a lineup of songs that will play in order. The ‘Add to Queue’ option is only available to premium users, not free users. Free users can queue a song, but can’t edit or see the queue. You can arrange the songs in your queue by clicking on the Queue button in the Spotify player. To remove a song from the queue, long-press the three-lined button next to the song and move it. You can also upload songs from your device to Spotify if you have a library of songs.
How to Remove Queue on Spotify Mobile App
Two ways to clear queues on Spotify are straightforward. The steps are the same for both Android and iPhone. Follow along.
1. Un-queue a Song From the Spotify Queue on iPhone and Android
Step 1: Open Spotify on Android or iOS and tap the player to open the currently playing song.
Step 2: Tap on the Queue icon in the lower right corner.
Step 3: Select the song you want to remove from the list.
Finally, tap the Remove button.
This feature allows you to remove specific songs that you don’t want to play at the moment. However, please note that it will not remove any songs from a playlist that you’re currently playing.
If you have multiple songs that you want to remove from the queue, here’s what you can do: Follow along.
2. Delete All Songs From Spotify Queue
Before we start, note that if you’re playing songs from your playlist, you can’t clear the queue with a click. You must select and remove the songs you want to un-queue. However, if you manually added songs to your queue, here’s how to clear them all.
Step 1: Open the Spotify app on Android or iOS.
Step 2: Tap the player to open the current song, then tap the queue icon in the lower right corner.
Step 3: Click on ‘Clear Queue’ next to ‘Next In Queue’.
When you click on “Clear Queue”, the songs in that section will be removed from the queue without a confirmation dialog box.
How to Clear Spotify Queue on Desktop and Web
If you’re using Spotify on the desktop or web, here’s how to delete queues.
1. Remove Individual Songs From Spotify Queue on Mac and Windows
Step 1: Open the Spotify app on your desktop or web browser and click on the Queue icon in the lower right corner.
Step 2: Go to the three-dot menu icon and select the ‘Remove From Queue’ option.
The selected song will be removed from your queue. Like the Spotify app for Android and iOS, the song you remove from the queue will only skip and will not be removed from your playlist. So don’t be concerned!
2. Get Rid of All Spotify Queue Songs
Similar to the mobile app, you cannot clear the queue while playing your playlist. However, if you manually added songs to your Spotify queue, you can clear all of them at once. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open the Spotify app on your desktop or web browser and click on the Queue icon (three lines) in the lower right corner.
Step 2: Click the Clear button next to the ‘Next in queue’ list.
Step 3: Click Yes to clear your queue.
That’s it. Your Spotify queue is clear now. If you want to go one step further, you can also clear your Spotify listening history.
