Apple Music "for you" has never worked

For months I have hit the Heart on songs, but I never get suggestions.


It always wants me to "get started" and choose 1 of 15 types of music. But the 15 or so are not any music I would ever listen to.


Isn't there a way to teach it what I like?

iPhone XR, iOS 12

It takes awhile


Personalize Apple Music

The For You section of Apple Music is where you'll find personalized music recommendations and mixes created just for you. The recommendations and songs in the mixes are influenced by:

  • The music that you listen to from the Apple Music catalog.
  • What you love or dislike.
  • The genre and artist choices that you made when you first joined Apple Music.

I talked to an Apple Support person - she said to hold down each genre red button on my phone until I deleted all. Then new ones would come.. but they didn't


So then I did it again and deleted all but "Hits" and selected only one - "Sam Smith"


Then after I did that, I got all new suggestions and mixes etc based on the actual music I usually like. (and no Sam Smith).. so that worked.
