Hello bamcd0313,
In order to get to the bottom of this issue, you’ll need to reach out to Apple Support directly: Get Support
Regards.
I have been having this same problem for about a year or so now and I've tried everything. Just yesterday, I noticed a pattern. For some reason when I got home from work in the evenings and checked recently played, it was always showing the first song I was listening to as I was driving to work, but nothing after that until I got back home from work the next day. So I had an idea... I started playing a song while still at home on my network, went for a walk far enough to get out of network range and listened to a couple more songs. When I got home, same thing happened. It showed the one song I was listening to when I left the network range but not the other two. So I tried it again and it happened again. For whatever reason, starting a song on my home network and leaving while it was playing forced the recently played songs to show up. Don't ask me why, it makes no sense to me either. But now if I want to force my recently played songs through whatever black hole they're stuck in, I just start a song and leave network range long enough for it to finish and all the days other songs appear. I don't know if this will work for you but it did for me. Hope this helps.
Unfortunately Apple support wasn't able to help me, but I did get it working. I had the same issue as described above. Mine started after I got back from a trip outside my country (similar to what the author of the original post linked above conveyed). I tried toggling all the relevant settings under "music" including the library sync toggle followed by force reset as indicated in the prior thread. Nothing worked. I spent an hour with apple support and they walked me through the same steps again, but got nowhere with them. I tried logging out of icloud altogether and logging back in. Nothing. I finally just backed up to icloud, wiped my device and started over from the backup. that worked :) It works perfectly now and recently played is updating as expected. Pretty annoying, but most of the restore process runs in the background, so as long as you don't need your phone for a few hours, it's not too bad. but still. ugh.
hey sami,
I've wiped my device and started over from back up, but still the problem persists.
You've got any idea?
hey bamcd,
I have this issue for more than 2 months now.
does your music app work properly now?
if so can you please tell me what you did.
thank you.
I also am having this problem , September 2023. Let me know if there’s anything you did that helped. It’s been about a month for me as well. 🥲
I’m working with apple support, they’ve asked me a week time.
If my problem gets resolved, I’ll surely help you with what I did. 👍
