How to Clear Queue on Spotify Mobile and Desktop

If you are someone who listens to music according to the mood or vibe, you must have a lot of songs queued up on Spotify. However, when you make up a new queue it sometimes interferes with the old one and you’re left listening to the same songs you did last time.

That is why in this article we will be jumping into simple and easy ways on how to clear queue on Spotify no matter what device you are on. So let’s dive in!

Queuing Songs on Spotify

If you aren’t familiar, Spotify Queue is one of the many perks that come with a premium subscription to Spotify and allows users to line up songs in their choice of order. In other words, when you add a track to your queue, it means that the song will be next in line.

Adding Songs to Your Queue

Queuing songs on Spotify allows you to either wait for the current song to finish and add another one or add 10 of your favorite songs to the queue and let Spotify run all of them in the background. Whether you are on the mobile app or desktop, you can add as many tracks as you want to your queue.

Let’s look at both of them individually:

↪ Mobile App

If you are on the Spotify mobile app and want to add songs to your queue, here’s how that’s done:

1. Open up your Spotify app and tap on your current playing song.
   

   

2. From here, tap on the three dots at the top right.
   

   

3. Once the menu opens up, tap on the “Add to queue” option.
   

   

↪ Desktop App

Similar to the mobile app, you can also add songs to your queue from the desktop app by following these steps:

1. Launch your Spotify app and next to your current playing song click on the vertical three-line icon.
   

   

2. From here, under the Now Playing option hover over to your current song and click on the three dots.
   

   

3. Now, select the “Add to queue” option.
   

   

4. And that’s it! Your song should now be added to your queue.

How To Remove Queues on Spotify Mobile App

Whether you want to create a new queue from the bottom or just want to remove a single song, you can clear your Spotify queue at any time on the mobile app.

1. Remove Individual Songs

If you aren’t in the mood to listen to what’s next on your queue, you can simply remove it, and the track after it will start playing.

Here’s how to remove individual songs from your queue:

1. Open up the Spotify app and tap on the current playing song at the bottom.
   

   

2. This will open the Playing View section where you’ll need to tap on the vertical three-line icon to access the queue tab.
   

   

3. Once you are in, you’ll have the “Now playing” tab which shows your current song, the “Next in Queue” tab which shows your current queue along with what track comes next, and the “Next From” tab which provides song suggestions to include in your queue from your personal favorites to Spotify-recommended ones.
   

   

4. Out of these, the one we need is the Next in Queue. Now, right next to each song, there’s a small circle. 
   

   

5.  As you tap on the circle, an arrow will fill it up along with new options like “Remove” and “Add to queue“.
   

   

6. Here tap on the Remove option to wipe out that song from your queue.
   

   

7. And that’s pretty much it! You can now enjoy listening to your queue without that one track.
   

   

2. Clear Queues

Apart from removing individual songs, you can also clean slate your current queue and start creating a new one.

1. Head to the Queue tab by clicking on the vertical-three line icon. 
   

   

2. Next to the Next in Queue tab, tap on the “Clear Queue” option.
