I can't make public or share some playlists with no reason.

Hello, I've a family subscription at apple music.

I created some playlist (not smart) and I'd like to share them.

Music App allow me to do that with some playlists, but not with others. Why?

There are apparently no reason since I created the playlist in the same way.

Maybe I have to wait that all file are uploaded on apple music cloud?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Greetings, and welcome to Apple Support Communities, gabrielemorse!


From my understanding, you’re able to share some playlists with your family, but not other playlists.  I definitely want you to be able to share your music tastes with others, and would be happy to help.


You mentioned that these playlists were created in the same fashion, but you are unable to share them.  In this case, I’d recommend creating a new playlist to see if the same behavior occurs using: Create and share Apple Music playlists - Apple Support  Are you able to see the playlists on your other devices?


Also, when trying to share the playlist, are you unable to see the “…” button to share the playlist?  If you’re trying to share with a particular individual and you’re unable to, do they also have an Apple Music subscription?


Thanks again for posting in Apple Support Communities. Have a great day!

Hi, thanks for your reply.


I read the link you suggested me, but my problem is at this point, when the guide says:


"To make your playlist public, turn on "Show on My Profile and in Search" when you create the playlist. When you make a playlist public, anyone can use search to find it."


I can't find "Show on My Profile and in Search" in some playlist. Why?


Also, when trying to share the playlist, are you unable to see the “…” button to share the playlist? 

I see the "..." button but when I press on it I have other options, not the sharing one.


If you’re trying to share with a particular individual and you’re unable to, do they also have an Apple Music subscription?

I don't even tried to share since seems not possible..
