No one knows where shuffle is in iOS 10 music player

Prasad, 18 September 2016

Before you watch the video below, do this little exercise. If you have an iPhone around running the latest iOS 10, open the Music app and try to find the Shuffle or Repeat option. If you manage to find it, congratulations. If not, you will find the solution in the video below.

Turns out it’s not just you who couldn’t find it at first. A lot of people seem to be stumped with this rather simple act of trying to find the Shuffle button. Why it’s placed out of direct view is anyone’s guess. It doesn’t even show up in the new Control Center card, which is now big enough to fit more buttons.

This is a problem exclusive to the smaller displays of the iPhone and iPod touch, however, and the buttons are in clear view on the iPad.

You can change sorting within the settings menu. You can choose: Sort titel AND albums (unfortunately just both together) either by name of the titel or name of the album

I just did the update and that was the first thing I checked as I read this story before I did the update. It is very easy to find the shuffle button in the Music app. I love the new interface of the Music Player.
