However, don’t worry; there are ways to recover recently deleted playlists on Apple Music. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to restore your deleted playlist and ensure that your music library remains intact.
Check the Recently Deleted Folder
The first place you should check for your recently deleted playlist is the “Recently Deleted” folder. This folder is designed to hold deleted playlists for a certain period before they are permanently removed from your account. Here’s how to access and recover your playlist from the “Recently Deleted” folder:
1. Open the Apple Music app on your device.
2. Tap on the “Playlists” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the playlist list and tap on “Recently Deleted.”
4. You will see a list of deleted playlists. Find the one you want to recover and tap on it.
5. Tap on the “Restore” button to recover the playlist.
If your playlist is still there, it should be restored to its original location in your playlist collection.
Use iCloud Backup to Restore
If the “Recently Deleted” folder does not contain your deleted playlist, you can try restoring it using an iCloud backup. Here’s how to do it:
1. Make sure your device is connected to a stable internet connection.
2. Open the Apple Music app on your device.
3. Tap on the “Account” button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
4. Select “iCloud Backup” from the menu.
5. Tap on “Back Up Now” to ensure your device is up to date with the latest backup.
6. Go back to the “Account” menu and select “Manage Storage.”
7. Scroll down and tap on “Backups.”
8. Find your device and tap on it.
9. Scroll down and tap on “Restore from Backup.”
10. Choose the latest backup that contains your deleted playlist and tap “Restore.”
After the restore process is complete, your deleted playlist should be back in your Apple Music library.
Check Other Devices
If you have access to other devices where you have Apple Music, it’s worth checking them as well. Your playlists are synced across all devices linked to your Apple Music account. Here’s how to check:
1. Open the Apple Music app on another device.
2. Tap on the “Playlists” tab.
3. Look for your deleted playlist in the list. If you find it, you can add it back to your current device by tapping on the “Add to My Music” button.
Prevent Future Loss
To avoid losing playlists in the future, consider the following tips:
1. Regularly back up your Apple Music library using iCloud.
2. Make sure to save playlists you frequently access on multiple devices.
3. If you are using a shared Apple Music account, be cautious when deleting playlists to prevent accidental loss.
By following these steps, you should be able to recover your recently deleted playlist on Apple Music and get back to enjoying your favorite songs.
