Name on Playlist

I am on family sharing. I have an Apple ID with my name and email address. My son has his own Apple ID and email address. When I create a playlist under my Apple ID, his name appears on the playlist. Is there any way to fix this? Doesn’t effect functionality, it’s just annoying.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Hi Bradinneedofhelp,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. I understand you're having an issue when creating a playlist and whose name is appearing on it. If you could answer a few questions the community may be able to better support you.


  • In the contacts app > My Card does it show your name or your sons?
  • What happens when your son creates a playlist on his device?
  • Is this a shared playlist?
  • Who is the Family Organizer for your Family Sharing account?


Thank you for your patience,


Take care

Hi Bradinneedofhelp,


I can totally understand how annoying it would be not being able to see your name on a playlist that you created. Based off the troubleshooting steps that you have performed it appears that your Apple ID and Contact cards are set up appropriately.


At this point in time I would recommend backing up your iOS device and performing a reset of all settings. If your issue persists afterwards your next step would be to Contact Apple Support for further assistance.


Please make a back up before performing any kind of reset or restore as data loss is possible.


Here are a couple resources to help you with backing up your iOS device and then performing a reset of all settings:

Thanks.
