Hi there, and welcome to the Community!

 

That's pretty easy - just open your queue, and slide your finger on the song you want to take off, from right to the left, just like in the video bellow.

 

Let me know if you need further help!

Hi there,

 

As you know, a couple of weeks ago, a new queue layout was launched. However, there are no buttons available for clearing the queue songs. The button shown in video/blog tutorials is simply not present in my app. Please find a screenshot attached. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it still doesn't work.


I'm using Android 15 on a OnePlus 11 5G. This issue also occurs on my desktop version (Windows 11).

Could you please advise?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Angelobor, thanks for reaching out!

 

The "clear queue" button will only display if you've tracks manually added to the queue. So I suggest you to add some to confirm if it displays or not.

 

If not, you can try a clean reinstall to see if it makes any difference.

 

Let me know how it goes!

Hi Bittencourt, thanks for your response.
I tried what you suggested. When I add a song manually, the "Clear" button appears, but once clicked, it only removes the added song — the rest of the queue remains intact. Consequently, the "Clear queue" button remains unavailable. As I mentioned in my initial post, I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but the "Clear queue" feature still never shows up.
We all appreciate improvements to the layout, but this change has become a headache and is quite troublesome. It's very frustrating.

Hey folks,

 

Jumping in to confirm that the Clear button is only available for songs you've added manually to the queue. To remove the rest of the queue as well, you can use one of the methods below:

  1. Manually clear all other songs by swiping left.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the queue and press Play on the last song, then skip it.
  3. Play a new song from the Search tab. This will update the queue and only add that particular song to it.

Note: In order for options #2 and #3 to work, you'd have to first turn off Autoplay in the app's settings. With Autoplay deactivated, when the last song in the queue ends (or if it's skipped), the playback will stop.

 

There's more on how the queue works in this article, feel free to check it out, if you haven't already.

 

Hope this clears things up. Cheers 🤘
