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??

Thanks for your reply. I had already completed the above, along with disabling the skill in the Alexa App and re-enabling a couple of times before but it hadn’t worked. However I did this process again today and Alexa is now playing ALL my created playlynow, so can only assume there was a glitch in the system, but all good now.
