Things to keep in mind when recovering deleted playlists

When you delete a playlist on Apple Music, it’s gone forever…or is it? If you’re lucky, you may be able to recover your deleted playlist by following these steps.

First, try opening the “Recently Deleted” folder in Apple Music. This is where playlists are stored when they’re first deleted, and they will remain here for 30 days. If the playlist is still in this folder, you can simply recover it by tapping the “Restore” button.

If the playlist is not in the “Recently Deleted” folder, don’t despair! There’s still a chance you can get it back. First, try opening the “Recents” tab in Apple Music and look for the playlist there. If it appears in the list, you can tap the “More” button and then select “Recover Playlist.”

If you still can’t find your deleted playlist, there’s one last thing you can try: restoring from a backup. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup from before the time when you deleted the playlist, you may be able to restore it from that backup. To do this, open Apple Music and go to the “Library” tab. Then, tap on the “Playlists” menu and select “Backups.” From here, you can choose to restore from an iTunes or iCloud backup.
