Android: No Option to Remove Song from Playlist

[Jawntee]

There's no way to remove songs from a playlist on the android mobile app. I can go to a song in a playlist, I can 'share it', 'collect it' 'start station', 'add to playlist' (even though it's already on my playlist) and 'add to queue'.... but I cannot 'remove song from the playlist'. Why would you omit the 'remove song from playlist' option here? I have to go to a PC and use the website to remove songs from my playlists.

Hi there, @Jawntee. 👋

Thanks for posting about this.

We have the option to edit your playlist in order to remove songs. 

To delete songs or to make any other changes to your playlist:

• Go to the playlist and tap the Edit icon below the album art.
  • To remove songs scroll down and press ( - ) iOS or ( X ) Android to the left of the songs you would like to remove or swipe the track name left.
• Tap Done (iOS) or Save (Android) to close out and save your changes. 

If you're still having trouble, could you share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Let me know how it goes. 🎧

Edit button works. I never saw that one.  It's on the far left. Thanks!

Hi, @Net. 👋

Glad to hear those steps worked for you.

Let me know if anything else pops up. In the meantime, happy listening 🎧

There really should be an easier way from the song itself. Having to navigate to your playlist and scroll and scroll until you find the song to remove it, is way too much. 

 If the song is playing from the playlist, and you expand the song menu, there should be a button here to remove it from the playlist. We shouldn’t have to navigate back to the playlist screen and scroll through tons of songs. I’ve tried several ways to do this and there is no easy way. Please add the functionality

Hi! I am having the same issue of not being able to delete anything on my android app. There is no edit button on the left side anywhere.

@Shell0515 It doesn't look like that is actually in your collection (the Collect icon still shows the + symbol).

Can you please send me another screenshot of where you are seeing that in your collection?

(Please note you won't be able to attach images via email - you will need to open this Community link in a web browser in order to provide attachments)

Thanks for working with me on this.

You have to swipe-left on the song in the playlist to delete it... kind of a 'hidden' function; took me a hot minute to figure it out as well.  I agree it should be in the action menu for the song.
