Hey @mfcartagena, thanks for the reply.

 

The scenario you are describing is due to the autoplay feature. It plays suggestions after your music or episode ends. Autoplay should work with both music and podcasts. Please go ahead and turn autoplay off and then check if the episodes play.

 

You can turn autoplay off from your app settings or read this support article for more info.

 

There is another way to stop episodes from autoplaying. It requires you to set a sleep timer for your episode. You can set the sleep timer to the end of the episode. In this way, it will stop playback once you reach the end of the episode.

 

Your recommendations update constantly based on your listening history so autoplay content will change over time automatically.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hey @mfcartagena, welcome to the Spotify Community!

 

As of now, there is no option to edit your history and remove an item. Don't worry though, your history will update based on your listening activity.

 

Could you describe a bit more about what you mean by "then it plays anytime"?

 

Keep me posted.

Hey @amayy, thanks for your answer.

 

I understand, so my history will update in the time based in my listening.  Regarding you question:  Could you describe a bit more about what you mean by "then it plays anytime"?

 

It happens that when I start to use my spotify in the morning, I use to listen my favorite podcast, when the episode end, spotify plays the next episode of another podcast and I often listen the podcast that don´t like.  I figure out that it´s becaouse my listening history.
