To loop songs on SoundCloud mobile, the official SoundCloud help pages do not currently document a native loop button for the mobile app. This means that while you may find workarounds, a guaranteed built-in feature like you might expect from Spotify mobile features is not officially confirmed for the app itself.
Can you loop songs on SoundCloud mobile?
This means that any claim about a specific button or menu path for looping on iPhone or Android cannot be verified from SoundCloud's official help pages. Users should set realistic expectations: the app may not have a simple one-tap loop feature like other streaming services.
Check for a repeat button in the app
Open the now-playing screen in the SoundCloud mobile app and look for a loop icon, typically represented by a circular arrow. If you see one, tapping it may activate a loop. If you do not see it, ensure your app is updated to the latest version, as features can vary.
Use SoundCloud in your mobile browser
The most reliable workaround is to open SoundCloud.com in a mobile browser like Chrome or Safari. Switch the browser to desktop view (usually found in the browser’s menu settings). Once in desktop view, the web player’s repeat button, which is documented in official help pages, should appear. Tap that button to loop a single track or a playlist. This method bypasses the mobile app’s undocumented controls entirely.
What about third-party apps and Pro?
Similarly, no official SoundCloud Pro-exclusive mobile loop feature is documented in the retrieved help pages. Relying on unverified third-party instructions or Pro claims is not recommended for a safe, authoritative answer. To create a looped playlist, add a song to a new or existing playlist, then use 'Add to Queue' or 'Add to Next' from the three-dot menu to make it play continuously.
When to check back for updates
SoundCloud may add a native loop button to its mobile app in a future update. To stay informed, follow SoundCloud’s official blog or support channels for announcements about new mobile features.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does looping a song on SoundCloud mobile use more data?
No. Once the song has been initially loaded, looping it does not require additional data usage. The track plays from the cached data, so you can repeat it without consuming extra bandwidth.
Can I loop multiple songs in a playlist on SoundCloud mobile?
Looping is only for individual songs, not entire playlists, but manual looping per song is possible.
Is there a limit to how many times I can loop a song?
There is no documented limit.
Why doesn't SoundCloud mobile have a loop button like other apps?
SoundCloud has not officially documented a mobile loop feature. This may be a design choice or a feature yet to be added.
