Apple Music on iPhones, iPads, and Macs introduces a new feature – creating playlists in collaborative mode. The ability to invite friends, add songs together, and react to each other’s choices with emojis is another great tool for sharing music. But how do you create a playlist, what does it involve, and what do you need? Here’s everything you need to know about creating and using collaborative playlists in Apple Music.
To create collaborative playlists in Apple Music, you need a device – an iPhone or an iPad – with the latest iOS 17.3 or iPadOS 17.3 installed. Additionally, you need to subscribe to Apple Music, either as an individual or as part of the Apple One package.
So how do you create a collaborative playlist in Apple Music? Follow these steps:
1. Open the Apple Music app.
2. Select the “Playlists” tab.
3. Click “New Playlist.”
4. Enter the name of your playlist and press “Create.”
5. At the top of the playlist, you’ll find a person icon in the shape of a circle with a plus button. Click on it.
6. Toggle the “Allow Contributors” switch and press “Start Collaboration.”
If you don’t select the “Allow Contributors” option, anyone with the link will be able to join your playlist and add songs. However, if you choose this option, you’ll need to approve the people invited to the playlist.
Next, you’ll be taken to the Apple Share page where you can instantly send the playlist to your family or friends with whom you regularly communicate. Otherwise, close that window, and then:
1. Click on the icon with two characters in the upper right corner.
2. Select “Share Invitation via Link.”
3. Choose how to share the playlist, either through AirDrop, text message, or copy and paste the link.
4. You can also choose a QR code to share the playlist.
Once someone accepts your invitation and clicks on the link, you can approve them from the same screen:
1. Click on the icon with two characters in the upper right corner.
2. Select the green dot next to the person’s name.
3. Press “Done.”
Now you and your friends can add songs to your playlist in the same way you add other songs to playlists in Apple Music – simply click “Add Music” and get started.
The invited individuals will need an Apple Music subscription to join your collaborative playlist, just as you’ll need a subscription to join other people’s playlists. Apple’s collaborative playlists support up to 100 people.
