How do I clear the Next Up queue in Music?

I’m using an iPhone 12 iOS 16.1.2. The music app has a what’s next queue in it. How do I clear the queue so nothing is scheduled to play next? I don’t play this music on any other device. I’m streaming it to a Sonos one.

Hello!


Thanks for clarifying. That would be why! When you click play next or play last it adds them to a queue not a playlist. To add the songs to a playlist click the 3 dots and choose add to a playlist. I don't enjoy that feature either. However the queue will play even after choosing to play a playlist.


Hope that helps,

Hi again AdinF,


the following is a screenshot of what happens when I click on a random so

ng in the queue: as you can see there is no Clear option or keep option.


What I have found is an option to remove the song from my library, I’m hesitant to introduce this into the thread but there you go. But I don’t want to remove the song from my phone, just the queue.

Alright. To clarify when clicking "Play Next" or "Play Last" the song is added to a queue regardless of the song being in playlist or not. That will create a queue not a playlist. To clear the queue you would tap on a random song and see the options "Keep" "Clear". To add a song to a playlist choose the three dots next to the song and select "Add To A Playlist".


Hope That Helps,

Yea adin, it occurs when I’m trying to add songs to a playlist. I’m trying the add the songs by holding on the song and choosing play last or play next. This adds them to a playlist does it not? The subsequent playlist has a bunch of songs in it that I didn’t add to the playlist. I want to clear the playlist and add new songs to it.
