    Hi Renonevadas,

    You can't remove the "For You" section of the Apple Music app, but if you do choose to look at the suggestions, you can tell Apple what you don't like:

    Refine the For You suggestions in Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC

    Tell us what you don't like

    If you see a suggestion in the For You tab that you don't like, you can let us know.

    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Press and hold the item that you don't like.
    2. In the menu that appears, tap I Don't Like This Suggestion.

    On your Mac or PC

    1. Click More Options   next to the item's name.
    2. In the menu that appears, click Recommend Less Like This.

    Enjoy!

    Hello Judysings,

     

    Thanks for your help, unfortunately this does not help . Of course I tried that approach as it is described on the Apple site and many others.

    Thing is that on of the suggested playlists is an Apple play list (Love, Actually is all around) and the text describing this list is literally "it's almost christmas....". The only option I get when pressing on the 3 dots is "I don't like this", but I pressed a million times on "I don't like this", and nothing happens. Christmas songs are still suggested...

    Maybe it is related to the opposite bug that when I click on a song and press the "+" (add to my list) also often nothing happens. I have to try many times on both my Mac as iPad before I finally find the songs I like in "My Music".

    Apple Music is full of bugs. I'm not used to Apple releasing a product with so many bugs and has not been tested thoroughly.

     

    Reno

    You can't turn off suggestions? Because Apple Music was designed by lawyers, not creative types.
