IOS – iPhone SE (iOS 10.3.3) – Music stuck on repeat

iosiphonemusic

The Music app in my iPhone is stuck on looping one song every time, bit like the old repeat setting that has disappeared.

If I play any song as part of shuffle from a Playlist, Artist, All Songs, then that song, when it ends, restarts from the beginning.

I can ask for the next song and that will work fine. But this looping behavior essentially breaks the app for me as it requires me to fiddle with Music at the end of each song.

I've checked the Settings, but nothing really stands out. It's almost as if the repeat option which used to exist had been activated.

Restarted iPhone, but no luck.

I would much rather not update to iOS 11.x, since that also seems to have its share of problems.

It is likely that the repeat mode is set in the Music app. The repeat mode is still available in the Music app, albeit little hard to locate.

To check for repeat status, in the current playing view, scroll down (as depicted in the image) and check for repeat setting.
