Just fixed this. On the Playlist you want to send:

  • Hit the three dots (ellipsis) on upper right corner
  • Hit Edit
  • Then "Show on My Profile and in Search" toggle will show in middle of screen; select it
  • Hit Done


The "Share Playlist" option should now appear when you hit the three dot ellipsis.


If you haven't set up your Apple Music profile you may need to do that first. To do that, go to your "Listen Now" page on Apple Music, hit the Face button on upper right and follow prompts.


I think sharing our playlists on our Apple Music profile is the price we now pay to share them...but you can control who sees your Apple Music profile by hitting Edit on your profile homepage and selecting "People You Approve" under "Who Can Follow Your Activity".

Just spent 40 minutes, talking with three different Apple tech consultants, just so I could share my Playlist, filled with music I bought on Apple iTunes, from my iPad to my iPhone! Simple enough…. Right?


Evidently, I cannot share the list from my iPad device to my iPhone device, unless I purchase Apple Music subscription….

OR purchase an adapter, so I can plug in my iPad to my iMac to transfer my Playlist to iMac, them connect my iPhone to my iMac to transfer my Playlist from my iMac to my iPhone…. Really⁉️ 😖


What a crazy circuitous solution, that a 1980s databases could more easily resolve. So much for Apple’s elegance!

Go to “Listen Now” in iTunes. Hit the profile icon in the upper right. Set up your profile and follow the instructions outlined in the posts above. Tough to find and not very intuitive. Thank you to the previous user posts.


I restricted my contacts and share playlists with my wife. I don’t think my friends or strangers want my favorite hits from the ‘80’s. Better to spare the world the deep cuts from obscure bands. :) Consider it a public service.
