Re: "Can’t create Apple music profile" "I’m also unable to view my friends profiles either".
You may want to check that your Phone is updated to the newest compatible iOS version:
ie: to check if an update is waiting for installation: Check : Settings > General > Software update.
or
If already updated to the newest compatible iOS version: try re-starting your iPhone (deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, and often restores order if something is not working as expected):
See how to: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
You can check how to create a profile in Apple Support's online article (link below)
See what your friends are listening to - Apple Support
