Apple Music genre selection

How can I edit my chosen genre like I did when I first opened the app when it had the bubbles, I don’t seem to have that option to edit that.

Hello there Wwalker067,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! We understand that you are inquiring about adjusting your genre selection as you did when you first started using Apple Music. We are more than happy to help you out with this.


"Select your favorite genres and artists

When you first tap For You, you’re asked to tell Apple Music about your preferences. Apple Music uses these preferences when recommending music.

  1. Tap the genres you like (double-tap those you love, and touch and hold the genres you don’t care for).
  2. Tap Next, then do the same with the artists that appear.

To add a specific artist who isn’t listed, tap Add an Artist, then enter the artist’s name."


Although this is something you are only able to adjust after your first time tapping on "For You," Apple Music will still give you recommendations based off of the music and albums that you love.


"Tell Apple Music what you love

Do any of the following:

  • Touch and hold an album, playlist, or song, then tap Love or Suggest Less Like This.
  • On the Now Playing screen, tap , then tap Love or Suggest Less Like This.

Telling Apple Music what you love and dislike improves future recommendations."


All of this information can be found at See recommended music on iPhone


We hope this helps! Have a great day!
