Why had my personal playlists disappear from my main music page. The lists are still were they have been on my iPad but I have to do a search of my library to find them. Any suggestions on how to get them back?

Why have I lost my lists of my playlists on my iPhone. They still appear on my iPad. I have to do a search on my library to find them. It was nice to see them under playlists. Any suggestions on how to get them back?

Hi JLH242,


You mentioned the playlists being there, however, they are not on the Library list page. Are you missing the "Playlists" section in Library? If so, tap Edit in the upper right and make sure Playlists is checked: View albums, playlists, and more in Music on iPhone


Cheers.

Hey JLH242,


Since the iPad is showing playlists, make sure the iPhone and iPad are using the same Apple ID. Also, make sure that Sync Library is enabled on the iPad. After confirming, test with both devices connected to a Wi-Fi network.


If you're still experiencing the issue, let us know if the playlists were created on the iPhone, iPad, or a computer. Also, are the songs that are part of the playlists downloaded on the iPhone?


Take care.
