Hey everyone,

You could previously just swipe left to delete any songs on your phone. However now it only gives you the chance to delete the album it's in.

I know there is an option to delete a song whilst it's playing but that's not really practical at all.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Drill down to the individual song, then swipe left to delete.

If you have a 3D Touch device then just 3D Touch the song and remove.

Long press a song to call the action menu.

Then press "delete song".

This song now is gone.
If you want to just remove a song from playlist, don't use this way. Instead, tap "edit" and delete each song you want it to go away.
