Apple Music “Recently Added” playlist missing

FIGURED IT OUT!

okie so if you have a mac and phone and playlist on neither you can make the playlist on your mac. On Mac open Apple Music and on the very top of the screen where it says “music file edit song…” etc click file then new. You should see the option for smart playlist! After that a window pops up where you can choose how many songs selected by ____ and choose recently added!!(make sure to uncheck “match rule” but have “limit selected by” checked) Just found this I’ve been looking forever and started to poke around. It should then automatically sync with your phone :)

Thank you! Now I can listen to the music I recently added like I usually do. ♥︎♥︎

I'm having the same exact problem, and no, the Recently Added in Library is not the same as the Recently Added or Recently Played smart playlists. Both smart playlists still exist on my iMac so assuming this is an iOS17 issue on iPhone. Additionally, my Apple Music subscription is up to date, so that's not the issue either (and not all of my music was purchased through Apple Music either, so that wouldn't track). Open to any real suggestions and OP, if you find a fix, would you mind posting it here?

From a recent Reddit post:

On your Mac, right click on Recently Played or Recently Added (any playlist that’s missing from your phone but not from your Mac), and choose “Duplicate”.

This brought mine back exactly as they were.

Me too! I have an iPhone 11 and I thought updating my phone would help? Everytime I add a song to my playlist it would usually be all the way on the top so I could press it as soon as I open it, but now even when I go to the sort playlist button it’s all over the place?? Also that playlist doesn’t even show us on my library, please help me!!

Recently Added shows under your Library.

i have the same problem.. the option is still missing when i open apple music at my windows browser , igl im planning to switch to spotify cuz of this problem.

God bless your soul.

Finally!!

Happy listening brother.
