Music playlists not showing up on my iPhone

Music on my MacPro works fine and my playlists are listed and working. (Favorites; Workout; Holiday) . However, they are not synched to my iPhone. I started at the gym today and went to activate my Workout list but it's not there. All my songs are there but no playlists.


Is this fixable?


As always, thank you for the help!

Hello horsecrazy,


If you are an Apple Music subscriber, you'll want to follow the steps below to verify the Sync Library option is enabled on your iPhone:


1. Go to Settings > Music.
2. Turn on Sync Library. If you don't subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, you won’t see an option to turn on Sync Library.
If Sync Library is updating or turned off, you'll see a message at the top of the Library tab in the Apple Music app.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music - Apple Support


If you manually sync your iPhone with your Mac, does that persist after syncing again? Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Those steps should help to address any hiccups with the syncing process.


Let us know your results, and we'll keep moving forward from there.
