iphone 17 latest ios 26.5 recently been having issues with apple music. everytime i go to add what seems to be only new songs it'll show in whatever playlist then if you click out and back in it disappears. but a song from 3 years ago it acts as normal sends the notification at the bottom of what playlist and you can click out and click back in. i need help i haven't been able to listen to any new music pretty important to me.
That honestly sounds more like an Apple Music sync/library bug on iOS 26.5.
The fact that older songs save normally but newer songs disappear is the weird part. Usually that points to a cloud library syncing/indexing issue.
A few things to try:
Also:
Since it started recently and only affects newer tracks, I’d lean toward a server-side/cloud library issue rather than corrupted local data.

If you think your Apple Account has been compromised - Apple Support (IN)
try to go in your settings-> your profile-> then your devices and remove the devices
im like 2 months behind on music everytime i try to add any new songs frm my listen now it just don't work but if i go listen to some throwbacks it'll let me add songs frm 2025 gotta be a software glitch. my sync library was turned on back off i deleted and re downloaded apple music restarted my phone my phone is fully updated there's i'm no where near the 100,000 limit of songs i found on google i only got 4,000 across 3 playlists

thank you for the reply couple things though, i have turned off sync library then restarted the phone multipul times now actually because i work nightshift and music is all i have all night so the "old music" is getting old frl especially knowing im 3 months behind on most of my favorite artists music because everybody's dropping right now. regardless ive done that and ive tested your second device theory. all of my playlists actually have my ipad as a collaborator specifically so i can add songs from there if im ever on it and i can confirm my ipad adds songs just fine still and then it will show on my phone but the same song from the phone won't work. i was also thinking the same with the licensing stuff because i have experienced weird issues from listening to brand new released songs but it seems to be every new song for real like the moment you see it was made in 2026 just count ur self out lol i didn't think my data was corrupted i just want to fix it i i've been in music prison for a couple weeks now still have the option to listen to new music but i listen to my playlists i dont listen to just straight albums from the same person so it beats the purpose.
Same issue
Hello, I have the same issue after updating to iOS 26.5. Newly added songs to my playlists disappear after some time.
