Can you edit someone’s playlist?

Answered by Robert Dupre

You cannot edit someone else’s playlist on Apple Music. Each user has their own personal library and playlists that they can create and manage. This means that only the owner of a playlist has the ability to add or remove songs from it.

Apple Music is designed to be a personal music streaming experience, allowing users to curate their own collections and playlists based on their individual preferences. While you can share your playlists with friends and family, they can only listen to the songs in the playlist and cannot make any changes to it.

However, there are still ways to collaborate and interact with your friends when it comes to playlists on Apple Music. You can share your playlists with others by sending them a link or using the “Share” feature in the app. This allows your friends to listen to the songs in your playlist and discover new music.

Additionally, Apple Music offers a feature called “Friends Mix” which is a playlist that is automatically generated based on the music tastes of your friends. This playlist is updated regularly and can be a great way to discover new music that your friends are listening to.

While you cannot directly edit someone else’s playlist, you can still collaborate with your friends by creating collaborative playlists. Collaborative playlists can be created by one user and then shared with others, allowing everyone to add songs to the playlist. This can be a fun way to create a shared playlist for a party, road trip, or any other occasion where you want everyone to contribute their favorite songs.

To create a collaborative playlist on Apple Music, follow these steps:

1. Open the Apple Music app on your device.
2. Go to the “Playlists” tab and select the playlist you want to make collaborative or create a new playlist.
3. Tap on the three dots (…) or the edit icon to access the playlist options.
4. Toggle on the “Collaborative Playlist” option.
5. Share the playlist with your friends by sending them the link or using the “Share” feature.

Once the playlist is set to collaborative, your friends can add songs to it through their own Apple Music accounts. This can be a fun way to create a shared music experience and discover new songs together.
