When you learn how to create collaborative playlists in Apple Music, you can share them with friends and family. The new feature, available in iOS 17.2, works just like Spotify's shared playlists—two or more friends can add, remove, reorder, and share songs in a shared playlist. This is great when there's a party coming up, for example, because all your friends can add songs they want to hear.
Creating and managing shared playlists in Apple Music is very easy to learn and master. Once you've created a shared playlist, you're in complete control of your playlist. You can decide who joins your playlist and even when you want to end it. So let's take a look at how to create collaborative Apple Music playlists.
