Creating playlists is the best way to curate songs for different events, outings, and moods. I like to create playlists with all of the albums Ive recently downloaded, so I can see which songs I like and which songs I want to remove. You can create a workout playlist for the gym, a beach playlist for vacation, or any number of other possibilities. And with iOS 11, your friends can easily check out your public playlists too. Heres how to create and edit Apple Music playlists on iPhone.
