Share SmartPlaylist?

Is this possible? I have a playlist which lists all my favourited songs I want to share with my family but cant see a way to do this.


Even if I copy the smart-playlist to a normal playlist I cant share. Is there someway to share I am missing? (I also have a mac if its easier to do it from there instead of ios).


Thanks.

Hey solomani,


Thank you for completing that troubleshooting for us and providing those results for us.


We were able to research and discover that smart playlists are not eligible to be shared with others unfortunately.


One option would be to create a standard playlists with the songs that are present in the smart playlist so that you are able to share with others.


To assist you with creating this playlist, check out this resource that provides guidance with this: How to make a playlist in the Apple Music app


Kind regards.

Hi solomani,


Thanks for providing that screenshot to us so that we can better assist you.


Let's verify that you have iCloud Music Library enabled in your Settings app to ensure that this is not stopping you from sharing this playlist.


To verify this information, follow these listed steps:


  • Open Settings > Music > Sync Library


Once you have enabled this if not already enabled, then try sharing the playlist once more.
