Apple Music Profile & Playlists Not Visible in Searches Despite Being Public

Hi JoshuaFrantic,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We would recommend checking the steps below that can help:

See what friends are listening to in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device

You can choose to share the music that you’re listening to with followers on your profile. If you make your listening history and playlists private, your profile picture and user name will still be visible in Search. To remove yourself entirely, delete your Apple Music profile.

If you change your profile or a playlist to private, it might take several minutes before your profile or playlist is hidden from search.

View your profile

1. Open the Apple Music app.

2. Tap Listen Now.

3. In the upper-right corner of Listen Now, tap the photo icon or your photo.

4. At the top of your screen, tap [your name] View Profile.

Share or hide your playlists

1. At the top of your profile, tap Edit.

2. Select the playlists that you want to share on your profile and in Search. And deselect the ones that you want to hide.

3. Tap Done.

Hide music that you're listening to

To hide something that you're listening to, go to your profile, touch and hold an album or playlist, then tap Hide from Profile.

To hide all of the music that you're listening to:

1. At the top of your profile, tap Edit.

2. Scroll to the bottom, then follow the steps for your device:

•On your iPhone or iPad, turn off Listening To.

•On your Android device, tap Additional Privacy Settings, then turn off Listening To.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.
