“Add playlist songs” keeps turning ON

100% agree! Terribly annoying and if this is not fixed, I will probably migrate all my playlists to Spotify after Christmas. When managing a dozen different playlists with adding new music, cluttering the library like this is a huge dealbreaking issue! Fix this problem, or you'll have one of the worst music apps on the market!

The issue seems to have just fixed itself for me. I just added several new songs to one of my playlists and none went to my library. I added some more and removed some just to experiment and it didn’t make the toggle to switch on. Yay!

Same thing happening to me on Apple Music across all my devices - my current iPhone, MacBook, old iPhone using an older iOS. Seems to be a bug, a lot of users seem to be reporting the same issue at the moment.

I am having this exact same issue. I have tried to toggle it off on both my iPhone and my MacBook but after I add a song to any playlist, I go back to my settings to find it toggled back on again by itself. Very frustrating.

same thing is happening to my apple music. i noticed it this morning, and thought that maybe it was just because my phone wasn’t updated, but i installed the newest update and it’s still an issue. thank god i’m not the only one tho😭

Same issue with me. Everytime i add a new song to my playlist the album appears in my library and everytime i go to settings to turn off the “add playlist songs” it keeps turning on by itself and its very annoying. So glad im not the only one experiencing this, i hope its just a bug because i will go crazy😂😂😂

I’m glad you made a discussion for this because the same thing has been happening to me. I found it odd because I never download it to my library and I noticed that every time I add a song to my playlist it adds to the library which I don’t like

Fix this right now Apple! And while you’re at it, make a toggle to turn off “deleting song from library deletes it from playlists.”

And btw I’m only iOS 16.5 and my other phone 16.3.1. (Just got a new phone). It’s not just an iOS 17 thing.

thank god i'm not the only one. i just got the bug today! it's so aggravating . i'm on IOS 17.1.2 with an iPhone 13 Mini and it appears to be happening with everyone. apple please fix this i need my melanie martinez 🤧

it prob took me a day or two just to set up one of my playlist! i even deleted music app and it still happened. i just got switched to apple music because the spotify ads were annoying. im upset but i dont want to switch back to spotify, however, i might just have too. this bug needs to be fixed, it's actually so annoying

I can give you a solution I found, but it’s not fun, and it’s temporary. You need to do this for every song you want to add (I’m sorry, if you’re making a playlist).

Open Settings and navigate to “Add playlist songs.” Keep Music open at the same time. Turn off “Add playlist songs,” then go look up the songs you want to add to your playlist, don’t add it yet. Go back to settings to check the feature is off (it turns on when your back it turned). If it is, go ahead and add your song. After you add the song, the setting will turn on again.

It’s tedious, but a solution.

same, i'm not able to add songs to any playlists now without it adding to my library as well. this setting has always been off for me but today it glitched and won't stay off. i've always had this setting off bc it's annoying how removing a song from your library removes the song from every playlist. which is annoying because adding songs to your library has some nice features, but i'm not tryna deal w the mess that my music app becomes when i do that.

i was having this bug before i even updated my phone, i was running ios 16. i thought it was because my phone was 2 updates behind😭 i updated it tho and it’s still happening. i think it’s probably a bug with the app itself
