Playlists are a great way to create a customized set of music where you pick every song that you will hear. Once you have created a playlist, you can add and remove songs from the list at will, and you can choose whether the iPhone should shuffle through the list, or simply play it in order.
But if you have started using Apple Music, then the process for creating a new playlist may be a little different than what you are used to. Our tutorial below will show you how to create a new playlist directly on your iPhone, then how to find and add songs to that playlist.
