-
3Tap the Up Next icon. It's the list icon in the lower right corner of your screen that opens up your playlist queue.

4Tap the Autoplay icon. This looks like an infinity loop that you'll see to the right of "Playing Next" and will not be highlighted with a box to indicate it's disabled.[1]
- This will disable Autoplay from all your playlists so you don't have to repeat this process every time you listen to a playlist or album.
