Playing Apple Music on an Alexa device

i have been successfully playing my Apple Music through an Amazon Alexa device for some time, including my own created playlists, however since upgrading my iPhone, Alexa does not recognise the new playlist that I have created, although continues to play my previously created playlists. I have tried unlinking and relinking Apple Music within Alexa, but the problem continues.


I must have the setting set up correctly, otherwise Alexa would not be playing my previously created playlists. I hope someone can help me please??

You can go through the following steps to make sure things are still set up correctly:


Set up Apple Music with Alexa

1. Open the Amazon Alexa app.
2. In the lower-right corner, tap More.
3. Tap Skills & Games.
4. In the upper-right corner, tap the search field, then enter Apple Music.
5. Tap Enable To Use.
6. Tap Settings.
7. Tap Link Account.
8. Follow the instructions to sign in with your Apple ID. Get help signing in with two-factor authentication.


If you continue to have issues with this connection, your next step may be to get help from Amazon.


Hope that helps and you're able to get those new playlists playing again!

Take care.
