“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.

it’s annoying when it keeps turning on when I add any song to any one playlist it adds it to my whole library

Dec 4, 2023 1:28 PM in response to TbRaze

Same here except I’m only on IOS 16 so I don’t think it’s a software update problem.

Guess what it just started happening on my old iphones (6s) as well. And with no softwear update!

When i try and remove the songs from the library, it automatically deletes it from the playlist as well. Do you know how to remedy that?
