To turn off Smart Shuffle on Spotify, follow these steps: For mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android):

1. Open the Spotify app and tap your profile icon.
2. Go to "Settings and Privacy."
3. Tap "Playback."
4. Scroll to the bottom and toggle off "Include Smart Shuffle in Play Modes." This disables Smart Shuffle from appearing and being used in your playlists going forward.

Alternatively, while playing a playlist or "Liked Songs," you can tap the shuffle icon with sparkles ("Smart Shuffle") to turn it off and return to normal shuffle or linear play modes. Currently, there is no option to permanently disable Smart Shuffle so it never reactivates, but disabling it in settings keeps it off for a session until manually reactivated or app settings are changed again. This toggle option is mostly available to Spotify Premium users, and disabling Smart Shuffle offers a more traditional listening experience without the personalized shuffle mix.
