Hello Evange1,


To start, make sure you've covered the basics like restarting the device and making sure it's up to date.


Restart your iPhone

Update your iPhone or iPad


Make sure that the Sync Library setting is enabled for Apple Music.


1. Make sure that your iPhone is signed in with the same Apple ID that you use with your Apple Music subscription.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap Music.
4. Turn on Sync Library.

Use Sync Library to access your music library across your devices


If you're still unable to add items to playlists, you'll want to contact Apple to report the issue: Get Support


Cheers!
