I simply want to stop deezer automatically playing new/random music when my track/album ends.
Not interested in recommendations, I just want to control what I to listen to (at all times), not what some AI thinks I want.
This is easy in spotify, but I can't find this simple setting in Deezer. Trial started today
This is a deal breaker, I like the app so far.
Android - Samsung S9 - deezer up to date

Hey @mareep, @Neebl Have you deactivated the “Automated recommendations”? You have to do it from browser or desktop app. Start playing the album, Open the queue, Scroll down and deactivate Automated recommendations.
This isn't an adequate answer. Of course I've deactivated the “Automated recommendations" in the queue. The autoplay is still happening when I'm casting to my smart speakers.
Apologies everyone, just wanted to make sure it was deactivated! This is an abnormal behaivour, I have notified our devs team about it. Thanks for reporting it.
To stop autoplay on Deezer when the last track ends, you can disable the "Autoplay" feature. Here's how:
Open Deezer and go to the "Now Playing" screen.
Click on the "Queue" icon (usually at the bottom right).
Find the "Autoplay" toggle and switch it off.
Note that the availability and location of this option may vary depending on the device and app version you are using, so it may be useful to consult Deezer's official help documentation for the most accurate instructions.
Still no fix, and I am not accepting a non answer. This is not a bug, this is a decision. This has been broken for at least 7 years now. Looking at Deezer still not fixing it, after almost a decade, this is a choice, they earn more money this way. Should I not get an answer within an appropriate time of two weeks I will forward this to the Bundesnetzagentur and the Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg. They will look into whether Deezer is shuffling in randomly to optimize interaction royalties.
Stop lying. We are paying already. Curb this shady business decision. Greetings from a Network Engineer not oblivious to what is happening in the Business. Nobody has ever touched this issue from the dev team, since the finance team WANTS IT THIS WAY.
Two weeks till I switch to Tidal, unless this shit gets fixed. I'm fed up. I suggested everybody does the same. Same price, waaaaaaaaay better offer. And an option to upgrade quality as well.
I want to stop listening to the same album after it ends. Why is it do hard? I have been using Deezer for more than ten years. This is something new for me. I am also a software engineer, this kind of dark-patterns make users frustrated. I like recommendations, I just don’t want the same album start all over again.
I suggest that all of you vote for the idea "Automated recommendations on mobile." The more votes this idea gets, the more the developers will see how important it is.
I had hoped for Deezer to be a good alternative to Spotify, but this autoplay thing is an absolute dealbreaker. For me, *playing one song/album at a time* is just basic default, not a fancy idea from unicornland that may or may not come true someday. And I certainly won’t go looking to find workarounds for this. What’s so hard about just making it an option and letting the user control whether or not they want to use it?
Very sorry, but I’m afraid I’ll have to return to that Swedish creep for the time being.
Wait, its been literally 4 years and there is still no functionality on the smartphone apps to completely disable there awful recommendations that hijack the playlists? That's utter BS, especially since none of the recommendation are songs I might like. At that point the dev teams actively does NOT want to implement it. I get it.
I was coming from Amazon Music and Tidal because I thought the grass is greener here. Guess I'm going back where I was.
