Apple Music playlist covers are blank on iPhone

Hi, a few days ago I made a playlist, but unlike usual, my playlist cover looked blank and didn't automatically contain the album art of the songs I included in it. My other playlists are still normal, but not the playlists I made in the last few days. BTW, I'm currently running on IOS 17, even after I updated to 17.1.1, this still happens. I've restarted and tried creating a new playlist but there's no change. My playlist cover remains blank. I need advice regarding this.

  1. iPhone: Music > Select song(s) > Add to a Playlist > New Playlist > Save the playlist. Done (so don’t even touch the image section)


Solution described doesn’t work on iphone ios 17.3.1. So if you create a new playlist and don’t pick an image it won’t save. If you pick the red image and don’t select anything, it shows the album covers, and then it reverts to the first default image.

i really hate this update it was so unnecessary and very ugly being blunt. the original layout for playlist covers was iconic. it is also very ironic that they give the user the ability to chose five different quite ugly cover options and none of them are virtually the easiest one to compile(being the genuine default of the four album covers)

yeah I am really missing that old style. I thinks it’s really cool that they’ve got those new ones… but I’m not necessarily a fan of them myself. I’ve been making playlists for the past 5 years, I’d rearrange the top 4 songs to make a pretty neat album cover… now I can’t continue my pattern. Please can that also just be an option? Or how about you can choose 4 songs from the playlist to be in the cover? So it automatically chooses the top 4, but then instead of having to change the order of the songs to customise it, you can just change it from the new cover interface you’ve made?
