Unable to edit my playlists

Solved!

Unable to edit my playlists

When I go into a playlist which Iโ€™ve created, i only have the ability to add songs (which i have already done) 

I canโ€™t seem to remove any songs from the playlist which is quite frustrating ๐Ÿ˜ž

Is this possibly a feature that is exclusive to premium members?

 

Any replies would be a great help

 

(just as a side note: is it possible to change the playlist cover photo?)

Hi @dmcnicks, thanks for writing!

 

That's odd. When did it start happening?

 

What device are you using? Does it also happen on other devices?

 

Just to make sure you're doing it right, here's how to delete a song using a mobile phone:

 

  1. Go into the playlist.
  2. Tap on the context menu in the upper right corner.
  3. Tap on Edit.
  4. Delete tracks by tapping the red icon.

Let me know if it helps!

I have the ios app on an iphone xr
Thank you for replying, however when I go into the playlist the menu isnโ€™t in the corner and when I tap it shows no edit option

Hey @dmcnicks you're right,

 

For the updated version of the app you should go to the three-dotted icon near "Add Songs".

 

Then you'll be given some options, and the third one is Edit. 

 

Let me know how it goes!

When I open this menu the options are:
add songs
rename
make secret
make collaborative
delete playlist
share

Still no edit option, iโ€™m assuming this must have been made a premium feature

I've just logged in a Free account on my iPhone to double check this, and the menu is just like yours.

 

But you can delete a song if you go to "More" just after the song names under "Add Songs". You'll see a three-dotted icon on the right of each song. Just tap it and remove the song.

 

Hope this is more helpful!

Thanks you for trying but when I do as you say (tap the โ€œmoreโ€ part) it just takes me to the same list as I would see if i clicked above (a reduced list of songs which only have the heart for liked songs next to them)

Just wondering should I delete this post or mark my realisation as the solution?

I guess you can mark your realisation as the solution ๐Ÿ™‚
