Why can t i create a playlist on Apple Music

Hello Natureman1212,

If you open the playlist in the Music app and edit it, is "Show on My Profile and in Search" enabled?

If so, have you tried to restart your iPhone? Restart your iPhone

If you have any updates available, go ahead and create a backup and update your device. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

How to share music to Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device

Thanks for the suggestions. Everything is up to date and I tried restarting. When I go into the playlist I don't even see the option "Show on my profile and in search." I don't see that option in any of my other playlists that I have been able to share. The option to share is still available for individual songs and prior playlists, but not for the playlist at issue or any playlists I have created since. When I hit "edit" for the playlist I get Play Next, Play Last, but no "share playlist." Any other ideas?

I found the answer!!! This fixed the missing share button for me. It has something to do with the version iOS you created the playlist on and the current iOS. To fix:

-Create a new play list and name it whatever you want (it could be the same name of the list you are about to import).

-Go to the playlist you want to share, tap the three dots, select Add to Playlist.

-Select the NEW play list you just made.

All of the songs from your old playlist will be imported to the new playlist and the share button will be there.

I delete the old playlist to stay neat.

I hope this helps.

I just realized that when a new playlist won't share, (even if I add/rename it to a new playlist) it's because I may have 1 or 2 songs in the playlist that are previous downloads/purchases .

To share playlists over the cloud ALL songs must be iCloud streaming. When I removed the 2 songs, Then the playlist magically appeared on all other devices and the share option is there and works as it should.
