Spotify’s queue is a handy feature for building a playlist of songs you want to listen to next. However, it can easily become cluttered with tracks you’ve forgotten about or no longer want to hear. Fortunately, clearing your Spotify queue is a straightforward process, whether you’re using the mobile app, desktop version, or web browser.
Understanding the Spotify Queue
The Spotify queue allows you to add songs to a list that plays automatically after the current track finishes. This feature is available to both free and premium Spotify users, although certain limitations apply to free accounts. For instance, on mobile devices, only Spotify Premium subscribers can access the queue feature. On desktop and web browsers, the queue is available to all users, regardless of subscription status.
Clearing the Spotify Queue on Mobile (iOS and Android)
If you’re using the Spotify mobile app (available for iOS and Android devices), you can clear your queue with a few simple steps:
1.
Open the Spotify app and start playing a song.
2.
Select the Now Playing bar at the bottom of the screen.
3.
Tap the Queue icon, located in the bottom-right corner.
4.
Choose Clear Queue on the right side of the screen.
After completing these steps, your Spotify queue will be cleared, removing all the tracks you’ve added.
Clearing the Spotify Queue on Desktop and Web Browsers
To clear your Spotify queue on the desktop or web browser version of Spotify, follow these steps:
1.
Open Spotify and start playing a song.
2.
Click the queue button, located at the bottom-right of the screen (it looks like a hamburger with a bun over two horizontal lines).
3.
On the next screen, select Clear Queue to remove all tracks from the queue.
You can also remove individual tracks from your queue by right-clicking the song and selecting “Remove from queue.”
Sharing Your Spotify Queue
While you can’t directly share your entire Spotify queue, you can share individual tracks that are queued. However, a better option for sharing music with friends is using Spotify’s collaborative playlist feature. This allows both free and premium Spotify users to add, delete, and rearrange tracks together. You can also join or create a Spotify Jam session, which is similar to a collaborative playlist but designed for real-time listening.
