Apple Music Reset Preferences

Personalize Apple Music - Apple Support

The For You section of Apple Music is where you'll find personalized music recommendations and mixes created just for you. The recommendations and songs in the mixes are influenced by:

• The music that you listen to from the Apple Music catalog.
• What you love or dislike.
• The genre and artist choices that you made when you first joined Apple Music.

Tell us what you love or dislike

While listening to Apple Music, you can love and dislike music to refine your recommendations:

• On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: While listening to a song, tap the player at the bottom of the screen to open the Now Playing screen. Tap , then choose Love or Dislike.
• On your Mac or PC: Hold your pointer over the song name at the top of iTunes, then click and choose Love or Dislike.
• On your Android device: While listening to a song, tap the player at the bottom of the screen to open the Now Playing screen. Tap , then choose Love or Dislike.

If you change your mind, you can change your selection. On your iOS device or Android device, tap Love or Dislike again to clear it. On your Mac or PC, choose Loved or Disliked to clear it.

You can also say "Hey Siri" and tell Siri if you love or dislike a song.

Listen to mixes

In For You, you'll see up to four different mixes that refresh weekly: Chill Mix, Favorites Mix, Friends Mix, and New Music Mix. You won’t see any mixes until you've used Apple Music for a while so that we can understand your taste. To access the Friends Mix, you need to set up sharing and have Apple Music Friends.

If you add any and download any of the mixes to your library, the refreshed songs will automatically download to your device each week.

"Choose artists for me" no longer exists, it is now done purely on love and dislike buttons, plus what you play, plus your preferences when you first log on. there is some help here https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204842

There is no current way to clear history, which is disappointing. If someone with an active applecare account wants to ask support why and let us know that would be good, because my daughter no longer uses my account and all her listening history is affecting my for you playlists..., but I'm sure over time that will rectify itself.

this is some kind of nonsense. technical support refers to the same instruction, having absolutely no other options to help. if even the apple specialists themselves do not understand what is happening, then the users of the subject no longer understand.

Same here. Now that I see the (not so good) suggestions that Apple Music is making, I want to reset the choices that I made when I first joined the service, but the option is gone. It should be possible to reset these preferences, instead of forcing users to go through clicking hundreds of likes across songs - this is complete none sense.

Absolute foolishness

I have used this service for 6 months now and have never been more frustrated with the interface to poorest ability to change your likes and dislikes. I tread even listening to some of the songs that come up for even a second but I am usually unable to access my phone to hit the dislike feature or get Siri attention to tell her because the music is interfering with the voice commands. Just simply provide an advanced option to remove genres, songs from history, playlist, etc in one false swoop.

I really don't feel its worth keeping this service without some serious changes - poorly done guys.

Can you please answer the question? This answer is not practical or useful to serve your customers!!Apple music has a series problem...no longer (it seems) can we control what you send us. HOW DOES ONE CHANGE THE MUSIC PREFERENCES (genre and artist choices) ORIGINALY SETUP? You send the same playlists and selections almost everyday. This is NOT service!! Apple is turning into a crappy company if you don't want to serve or honor your customers! I will have to switch to Spotify f you cannot improve this and fix this.

No matter how often I dislike the crap Apple Music is recommending – it will recommend it again. And it gets even worse from week to week. How difficult is it to give us a reset option? If you dont know how to improve your product: simply copy and paste from Spotify.

It's mindless decisions like this one to remove the "reset listening preferences" capability that is forcing me away from the Apple ecosystem. I've already purchased my first new Windows PC in fifteen years. I haven't bought a new iphone in three years. Your new laptops are garbage. Keep on the path you're headed down. It's getting easier to switch back every time. Looks like I'll be switching to Spotify next...

Thats interesting daveman1010220 because its the same on Spotify here is their KB article for the same issue https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Profile-Reset-Taste-Profile-History/idi-p/1283748

The official Apple answer is beyond ridiculous. So when a 5 year old comes by and plays a bunch of stuff I don't like, I simply have to sit through terrible recommendations for the next couple of weeks? Apple's "our way or the highway" attitude is really frustrating here. But there's a third option that I'll now unfortunately have to migrate to: Spotify! ...which is a shame cause they pay the artists much worse..

Tarik82 you Spotify posters make me laugh they have the same policy, you can’t reset on their platform either. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Profile-Reset-Taste-Profile-History/idi-p/1283748

Darn, that's a good point actually... However for some reason their recommendations seem to be much better than Apple's. Like, I really really dislike most of the music that its recommending me. Spotify is much better in this domain but - as I said - they pay the artists really poorly. I'd hardly call myself a "spotify poster" though - it's just that I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Maybe Napster is a better choice? I'll do some research.

Yes! This is a poorly designed interface.

Why remove the choice? How does the algorithm get better if you’re only given options of music you don’t like?

I can can see why Apple is trying to coerce people into subscribing by making interfaces with other streaming apps do miserable with its devices.

So your telling me that in order to get rid of this terrible rap music that I don’t like or ever listened to, I have to play it, then mark disklike? Makes no sense.

Please escalate!

The option is gone and some of us really need to be able to reset our listening preferences.
