How to Clear the Queue on Spotify for iPhone (iOS 15 and Up)
Noticing clutter in your Spotify playback or want to remove songs you accidentally queued up? If you’re using Spotify on iOS 15 or later (including iPhone 13), clearing your queue is quick and easy. Here’s how to do it step-by-step.
Why Clear Your Spotify Queue?
Spotify’s queue feature is great for customizing what you’ll hear next—but it can get messy fast. Clearing the queue helps if:
- You’ve added too many songs and want a fresh start
- Spotify is lagging or behaving oddly
- You want to avoid hearing songs you no longer feel like playing
How to Clear Your Spotify Queue on iPhone
Make sure your Spotify app is up to date before proceeding:
- Open the Spotify app on your iPhone
- Tap the Now Playing bar at the bottom to bring up the full playback screen
- Tap the Queue icon – it looks like three horizontal lines with a small triangle (bottom-right corner)
- You’ll now see the full list of queued songs
- Tap the circle icon next to each song you want to remove
- After selecting the songs, tap Remove at the bottom-left to delete them from the queue
That’s it! The selected tracks are now cleared from your upcoming playback.
Can You Clear the Entire Queue at Once?
On mobile, you can’t clear the full queue with one tap (unlike on desktop), but selecting all songs manually and removing them achieves the same result.
Having Trouble? Try This
If Spotify is slow or crashing while managing the queue:
- Force close the app and reopen it
- Offload and reinstall Spotify:
- Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Spotify
- Tap Offload App, then Reinstall
This keeps your data intact while refreshing the app install.
