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?

I debating on keeping my iPhone 15 in a drawer or using it as an iPod. I have only ever had an iPhone since iPhone 4

mayne android is the way to go. Once I get over the fear and frustration of learning a new phone maybe it will be better. 🤷‍♂️ Apple seems to be telling me what I want and what I like, instead of letting me decide. From playlists, to photo libraries, to that dumb U2 album I had to delete. I don't want to be told what I like. I would rather be asked.

Thank you davidvdw! It was driving me crazy! At least now I only need to look at MY favorite playlists, the ugly star is buried at the bottom out of sight! This was much easier than undoing every favorite song (which I already tried).


I spent a lot of time uploading custom art for each playlist and curating them all. That Macy's star was an eyesore and caused my playlists to be out of view and harder to find.


If only Apple was smart enough to get rid of this feature everyone hates. Especially the cover art that cannot be edited.


You made my day!

Hi guys, the solution I've been using:


  • before anything, go thru & unfavorite EVERYTHING
  • fully close app to refresh & relaunch
  • go to Library, then Playlists
  • upper right corner, click three red lines
  • ✅ All Playlist
  • ✅ Recently Played
  • play a song from each playlist, eventually favorites ends up at the bottom
  • As long as you don't favorite anything, the list should remain there
  • Good Luck!
