I can't find genius playlists

Before upgrading iOS, I had genius playlists.


Now I have the latest version of Apple Music (though not subscribed) in My Music, I can't find out how to make a genius playlist from one of my songs I already have. I've tried the ... link and it's not there and looked in my music settings.


Any ideas?


Muchos gracias.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

You cannot create a genius playlist by click the ellipses that is displayed on the the 'now playing' or 'player control' view, all you can do from there is 'create station' and 'add to playlist'


You can create a genius playlist from a song when it is listed (under any grouping: Artist, Songs, Playlists, Genre).


When a song is listed you will see the ellipses symbol on the right side of the song row. Clicking the ellipses will bring up a menu where you can create the genius playlist.

The history is repeated. In iOS 9.x I was able to create a genius playlist from almost any song in my library. Now in iOS 10 the genius playlist is just a nice dream. None of Mac OS sierra and iOS the option for genius playlist disappear. (On my Mac the option is inactive.)

Anybody know what's happened? I loved that option! Isaia anybody with my?

Sounds like Apple intentionally deleted theCreate Genius Playlist from iOS 10. See:

What should people do who don't have an OSX or similar device available? You can no longer make Genius Playlists on the road....? Stick with Music on iOS 9 if you can.
