Can’t delete Favorite Songs Playlist from Apple Music Library

Under Music in the Settings app, there are two Library select option to “Add Playlist Songs” or “Add Favorite Songs”. I turned off both these features, but when I open my Apple Music Library, I still see the Favorite Songs playlist, I even made sure to de-favorite every song under there also, but it still wont delete from my Library

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

I thought I was the only one annoyed by that feature, so there's no way to remove it?

Apple Music, PLEASE remove this FAVOURITE feature added - it’s impossible to delete. You added three songs there that I don’t even have on my actual downloaded song list. I don’t want those songs on there and it needs to remove ASAP. You created a feature but didn’t think that other apple users have preferences to their own music. We should have the capability to control what we want to add, delete, or create playlist with our choice ONLY. You shouldn’t be creating a permanent playlist for us and adding songs we don’t listen to or even like either. To keep in mind that people tends to change their taste of music as we grow or they just need a change. Sometime they want to delete what they want and start a new genre of music of their choice. WE DON’T NEED YOU TO CONTROL WHAT WE SHOULD LISTEN TO ON THAT PERMANENT PLAYLIST YOU CREATED. ALSO WE DON’T WANT TO LOOK BACK AND LISTEN TO MUSIC IN THE PAST THAT WAS SO LONG AGO. I highly suggest you remove this feature due to everyone request ASAP. SADLY, you will losing customer pretty fast with this unnecessary features. I am insisting and as well as all the other comments that been made on here; again I said this several time already but PLEASE remove this feature as requested. Thank you!

This worked for me. It’s far from ideal, but it’s a better solution than Apple is offering. What would be ideal is if they didn’t force things without giving an option to revert it to how it was before.


This solution also allows me to ask Siri to “play my Favourites playlist” to play the playlist that I created myself, whereas before Siri would default to the Favourite Songs playlist that I never wanted or asked for.

What I did was in ‘playlists’, hold down on my actual playlists and click ‘Favourite Playlist’. Then go to the top right on the little lines, and click ‘favourites’ instead of ‘all playlists’ This should hide the apple music ‘favourite songs’ playlist.


I have found that sometimes apple literally automatically favourites the ‘favourite songs’ playlist which is very annoying with this strategy but i can just hold down and unfavourite it, it doesn’t happy very often, it’s pretty weird.

It has been quite a while since Apple has intruduced yet another feature that we are obligated to use.


The fact that Apple prides itself on giving users a polished experience makes it even more frustrating when they impose something unnecessary and non-removable, like this playlist.
