Whilst listeners celebrate the introduction of collaborative playlists and a playlist for your favorited songs, some complain that they don&#8217;t want their music library filled with the songs they favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With iOS 17.2, the update introduced an automatic process. Anytime a user favorites a song or adds a song to a playlist, it gets added to their Apple Music library. This might be exactly what some would want, but there are those for whom it&#8217;s creating a mess in their libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to stop favorite songs automatically going to your Apple Music library<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> app on iPhone<\/li><li>Enter the <strong>Music<\/strong> settings menu<\/li><li>Find <strong>Library<\/strong> settings<\/li><li>Untick the boxes for <strong>Add Playlist Songs<\/strong> and <strong>Add Favorite Songs<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This will stop songs that you favorite or add to your playlists being added to your library. However, it won&#8217;t remove songs previously added to your library automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that if you remove songs from your Apple Music library, they will also be removed from favorites and corresponding playlists. You will need to re-favourite and re-add them if you wish to clean your library out after disabling the toggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.routenote.com\">Upload your music to Apple Music for free and earn money from every stream at www.routenote.com.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s how to prevent favorited songs from being automatically added to your Apple Music library after the iOS 17.2 update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":98262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8879],"tags":[5802],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
