Do you find Apple Music's Automix feature more disruptive than helpful? Automix is designed to create seamless transitions between songs, but sometimes you might prefer listening to tracks with their natural starts and ends. Fortunately, turning off Automix on Apple Music is straightforward. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to disable this feature on your devices, ensuring you enjoy your music exactly how you want it.

Why Turn Off Automix?

While Automix aims to enhance your listening experience by blending songs together, it's not for everyone. Some users find that it cuts off the beginnings or ends of tracks prematurely, disrupting the artist's intended flow. Turning it off allows you to hear each song in its entirety, preserving the original artistic intent.

How to Disable Automix on iPhone and iPad

Disabling Automix on your iPhone or iPad is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps:

  1. Open Apple Music: Launch the Apple Music app on your device.
  2. Start Playing Music: Begin playing any song or playlist.
  3. Access Now Playing: Tap on the song that’s currently playing at the bottom of the screen to open the "Now Playing" view.
  4. Tap the Queue Icon: Look for the Queue icon (it resembles three horizontal lines) in the bottom-right corner of the "Now Playing" screen and tap it.
  5. Disable Automix: In the Queue settings, you’ll see the Automix toggle. If it’s enabled (green), tap it to turn it off (grey). Once disabled, the songs in your queue will play without blending into each other.

Visual Guide

To ensure clarity, here’s what the toggle looks like when it’s enabled versus disabled:

  • Enabled: The Automix toggle will be green, indicating that the feature is active.
  • Disabled: The toggle will be grey, showing that Automix is turned off.

Turning Off Automix on macOS

If you primarily use Apple Music on your Mac, you can disable Automix there as well:

  4. Disable Automix: At the bottom of the queue, you’ll find the Automix toggle. Click it to turn the feature off. When disabled, the toggle will appear greyed out.
