How to find loved songs on Apple Music for iPhone

I could didn't notice it, but maybe there any opportunity to see playlist with all songs where i press "Like"? Both on iOS and Itunes.

Thank you!

With Apple Music, you can mark tracks as Loved, by tapping the ♡ button. But, unless those tracks are in your iTunes library or on your iOS device, you can’t find them. Marking tracks as Loved helps fine-tune Apple Music’s recommendations, but users might want to go back to all the songs they’ve loved and listen to them again.

Apple Music should not just be about listening to new music, but finding the music you’ve heard and listening to it again. When you play recommendations, if you like the music, the only way to get back to it is to add it to your My Music library. You can only do this while you’re listening to something, or if you find it again later.

All this should be automatic. Apple Music should facilitate not just finding new music, but listening to it again

The heart is not the way to do it. The heart is only for Apple to tailor it's suggestions to your tastes. If you want to keep track of things you like you need to click on the little "3 circle" menu and select "Add to My Music." These tracks will all show up in "My Music" everywhere. In iTunes you can list your music by song and sort by "Date Added" and you'll see the tracks that you've added. There doesn't seem to be a way to view "My Music" by date added in the iPhone app. You need to do it in iTunes as far as I can tell. I much prefer the Spotify "+" system. There's one less step and they are listed in the order in which you added them.

Got the same issue. As a workaround I try to add every loved song to my library as well. Then I edited a smart playlist in iTunes, because I couldn't create a new one, that collects all loved songs that are in my library. This works most of the time, but the strange thing is that the list should sync to my phone instantly. But it doesnt. It's more like random. I've got 42 songs in the playlist on itunes, and 14 on my phone. Some have recently been loved, some are 2 weeks old. I can't find a reason or a pattern here

I came here looking for an answer to the same as the OP's question.


I can confirm, having configured a smart playlist to show Loved = True, only items i'd clicked "add to my library" would show (just added one to Library now and it now appears in my smart playlist).


So, that's the answer (for now).


1. Create "Loved = true" smart Playlist

2. Click <3 loved when you hear a song you love

3. Add song to Library


Seems silly I know, but this is how it works for me..
