Turning off Repeat on Apple Music
The most common reason for songs to repeat on the Music app is that the repeat function is turned on. Fortunately, this setting is easy to find.
If you’re using a standard-sized iPad, the repeat button may not be visible. For larger models, like the Plus, you’ll have more screen space to work with. Simply go to the album page where all the songs are listed, and tap on the button in the bottom left-hand corner to toggle the repeat function on and off.
If you tap on the title of the song, you’ll get a detailed view of the album art. Here, you can swipe up to reveal the repeat button. If it’s highlighted in pink, it’s turned on. Tap it again to turn it off and enjoy your music without the repetition.
Turning off Repeat on Spotify
If you’re using Spotify, turning off the repeat function follows a similar process to that of Apple Music.
Open the Spotify app and navigate to the song list on the album or playlist. Tap on the title of the song at the bottom of the screen to access the playback options.
If you see two arrows forming a circular shape and they’re green, it means that the repeat function is on. Tap the button again to turn it off.
Now you can enjoy your music without hearing the same song repeatedly. If you’re interested in learning more about music streaming services, check out our How to Use Apple Music and Spotify guides.
