Tapping that little shuffle icon on Spotify brings up a new <em>Shuffle Mode<\/em> menu. The options read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Shuffle<\/strong> &#8211; Tracks will be randomized<\/li><li><strong>Smart Shuffle<\/strong> &#8211; New &#8211; Get reccomendations based on what you like and a smarter Shuffle<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The new <em>Smart Shuffle<\/em> seems similar to <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/make-your-playlists-even-better-with-spotifys-new-enhance-feature\/\">Spotify&#8217;s recent Enhance feature<\/a> that spices up your playlists with new songs it thinks fit in. It would be nice to set one of the options as the default or add an addition <em>Smart Shuffle<\/em> button, so the pop-up doesn&#8217;t show every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems not every user on every device is seeing the new <em>Shuffle Modes<\/em>, so it will be interesting to see whether this feature fully rolls out after testing and feedback. Spotify are yet to announce the feature, but has addressed concerns on the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.spotify.com\/t5\/iOS-iPhone-iPad\/I-Want-the-Option-to-Disable-Smart-Shuffle\/td-p\/5376501\">Spotify Community site.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Sounds like you\u2019re seeing one of a few changes we&#8217;re trying out.<\/p><p>We\u2019re always testing possible improvements and new features, so you might see something on the app your friend doesn\u2019t, or get a brand-new feature for only a temporary period.
