Why aren’t my family playlists syncing with home sharing?

My husband and I have shared playlists. When I got my new phone and signed with out Apple ID and added our home sharing ID, and selected “add playlist songs” and “sync libraries,” but our playlist still hasn’t appeared on my phone. What can I do?

Thank you!

How to share a playlist with family share in aople music Trying to share a playlist created in Apple Music with a member of my Family Sharing. I have a Family Subscription to Apple Music. The family member can search for songs and videos I purchased and can access them - so appears Family Sharing is working. how do I share a playlist? My son created a playlist on my phone and wants to be able to access it on his phone as well as on my phone - and have both update as changes are made in the future. Apparently there used to be an option to ‘share playlist’ available after selecting the (…) next to the playlist - but the ‘share playlist’ option appears to be missing. (See current image). I have tried restarting both my device (iPhone X) and the other family member’s device (iphone11). I verified the Apple Music login used on the family members device is same as the one participating in my Family Sharing account. Thank you for your help!

Family Sharing and Home Sharing are two different mechanisms. Home sharing allows a single ID access to a home shared library from multiple computers or devices signed into the same ID and on the same network. Playlists are not automatically copied to devices.
