“Add playlist songs” keeps turning ON

Only started happening tonight as on Dec 1st, 2023 around midnight. I keep this feature off cause I don’t like a crowded, messy library. But as of tonight when I go to add new songs to my playlists, the “Add playlist songs” just turns right back on all by itself. And the songs/album are shown in my library. This is really irritating.

I’m on ios 17.1.2. Anyone know any sort of solution for this? Maybe just a bug? I already reset my phone and the problem still isn’t fixed.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

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.

This is happening to me!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one.

I’ve always hated this feature, especially whenever I click “add to Library” on accident and have to remove the album from every single one of my playlists if I want to get rid of the clutter. The “Library” section is the only readily accessible section to easily locate your playlists, so to be forced to have to put up with the library feature constantly screwing up my playlists proves to me apple’s just all about the money and finding ways to run up my storage so that I’ll buy a new phone. That’s capitalism for you I guess. So frustrating, and now with this bug, I can’t add any songs to any of my playlists without the risk of losing them from all of my old ones. Capitol F Frustrating.

Makes Music unusable since we can not add anything in our playlists...

Hope someone from Apple is reading this...

And while you are at it, fix Carplay not displaying playlists if you dont have any music in your library and you're only using playlists...

I have the same problem on my iPhone 12 and it’s so annoying. I tried reinstalling the app but it didn’t help. Also the fact that removing song from library deletes it from the playlist makes it even more annoying.

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!

Apple - Please fix this issue - This is one of the worst glitch ideas you could’ve had happened. Wouldn’t be so bad if when you went to remove a song it also removes it from your Playlist as well.

Totally agreed, and I’m getting tired of fighting with it for the past day, I’m just adding my songs through other music platforms
