iOS: Unable to remove songs from playlists

rills12 — Fri, 29 May 2026 13:14:44 GMT

I am experiencing the same problem on an Apple phone. I’ve created playlists in the past but now want to remove songs that I no longer like. When I try to swipe the song left (something that used to work perfectly fine) to remove it, it doesn’t do anything. The edit button is also greyed out so I can’t even try that. This is really frustrating and makes me want to stop using pandora if it doesn’t get fixed somehow.

@rills12 Sorry for the trouble you are having removing songs from your custom playlists.

To remove songs from your playlist:

Go to My Collection and tap the name of the playlist you'd like to edit.
Tap the Edit icon below the album art.
In Edit mode, tap ( - ) next to the track. Press Done (iOS) to confirm your changes.
Alternatively, while viewing your playlist, you can remove a song by swiping left on it.

This being said, it sounds like you are unable to swipe left on tracks to delete them from your playlist, and the Edit button is greyed out.

In order to look into this further, I am going to need some additional information from you.

Can you please send me:

the name of a playlist that you are unable to remove songs from
a screenshot that shows the Edit button greyed out

Thank you for working with me on this.

The name of the playlist is "message in a bottle". I included a

Hi @rills12 , thanks for the information.

It looks like you replied to the notification email instead of the post so, unfortuantely we are not able to see the image.

You see, when you reply through email and attach an image there, it won't be added to the thread, only the written part. You will need to open this Community link in a web browser in order to provide attachments.

Let me know if you run into any trouble.
