Will my playlists be deleted if I delete the account?

If I delete my Apple Music profile in order to reset my preferences, will it delete any playlists I’ve made on the account?

Hi plant_gang,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. “When you delete your profile, your user handle and music activity clear from Apple Music, but your Apple Music subscription isn't affected. If you shared a playlist with a friend and they saved it to their device, the playlist disappears. Your library and playlists don't change.” For more information see the Apple Support article titled See what friends are listening to in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device.


We hope this helps!


Take care
