Creating my own playlist without Apple adding to it???

Hi


I have created my own playlist. When I am browsing on Apple playlists to chose what to add, once I have added a couple of songs from their playlist to my own and maybe listened to 7 or 8 tracks, it then copies the whole playlist over on to mine.

It's driving me insane. How do I stop it automatically putting things on my own playlist?

Greetings littlecar,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're glad you're here!


We understand from your post that you created your own playlist, then added a few songs from the Apple Music catalog, but inadvertently additional songs were added to your playlist. It will be our pleasure to share some tips to help you choose exactly what's included in your playlist.


  • First, open this link to view a guide to Create playlists on iPhone.
  • Scroll down to "Edit a playlist you created on iPhone" for steps to edit your playlist and remove the songs you didn't intend to include.
  • Note: When you are viewing an exiting playlist, and tap  , you have a few options, including adding the full playlist to yours. Is it possible this was selected rather than an individual song when you were adding music to your playlist?


We looking forward to hearing back at your convenience.


Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello littlecar,


Thanks for trying those steps. To help us drill down on this further, please tell us:


  1. Do you have Sync Library enabled. Follow this link to learn more about this feature: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music
  2. Are other devices signed into this Apple ID? If so, are they shared with other parties?
  3. Is the playlist shared with others?
  4. Do you have Family Sharing enabled and/or an Apple Music Family membership?


Your answers will guide us forward, and we await your reply as we work together to find the solution.


Kind regards!
