See what your friends are listening to
When you’re an Apple Music subscriber, you can see music your friends are listening to by following them. You can also see the playlists they’ve shared. Likewise, your followers can see your shared playlists and the music you’re listening to. You see this information on your profile screen in the Music app .
Note: Not all features are available in the Apple Music Voice Plan. For more information, see the Apple Support article About Apple Music Voice.
Create a profile
When you first open Music, you’re asked to set up a profile and start following friends. If you skipped this step, you can set up a profile at any time.
Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then tap .
Tap Start Sharing with Friends.
Friends can now follow you.
View your profile
Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then tap or your profile picture.
Tap View Profile at the top of the screen.
Follow your friends
There are several ways to follow people:
Add friends when you set up your profile.
After you set up your profile, swipe to the bottom of the profile screen, tap Follow More Friends, then tap Follow next to those you want to follow.
You can follow friends who are in your contacts list and who use Apple Music.
On the profile screen, touch and hold a profile picture, then tap Follow.
Tap Search, enter a friend’s name, tap it in the results, then tap Follow.
Note: Your friends must have a profile for you to find them using search.
To see the people you’re following and those who follow you, open the profile screen, then swipe up.
If a profile picture has a lock on it, you need to ask that person to follow them. After your request is accepted, you see the person’s shared playlists and the music they’re listening to.
Respond to follow requests
You can allow everyone to follow you, or just people you choose. You receive follow requests only if you choose who can follow you.
Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then tap or your profile picture.
Tap View Profile.
Tap Edit, then tap People You Approve if you want to be followed only by people you choose.
Tap Follow Requests, then accept or decline the requests.
You may receive follow requests in other ways—as a link in an email or a text message, for example. To accept, tap the link.
Stop following and block followers
Stop following: Touch and hold the profile picture of a person you follow, then tap Unfollow.
Block followers: Touch and hold a profile picture, then tap Block.
People you block won’t see your music or be able to find your profile. They can still listen to your shared playlists if they’ve added them to their library.
Share music with followers
By default, your followers see the playlists you create, but you can choose not to share some playlists.
Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then tap or your profile picture.
Tap View Profile.
Tap Edit, then turn playlists on or off.
Drag to reorder them.
Your followers will see the playlists you create on your profile unless you turn off those playlists you don’t want to share. You can turn off this option when you create a playlist or later, when you edit the playlist.
To share playlists with people who don’t follow you, touch and hold a playlist, then tap Share Playlist.
Note: If you make changes to music you share—edit or stop sharing a playlist, for example—those changes are reflected on your followers’ devices.
Hide music from your followers
Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then tap or your profile picture.
Tap View Profile.
Touch and hold the playlist or album (below Listening To).
Tap Hide from Profile.
The listening history for this item won’t appear in your profile or be visible to the people who follow you. If you don’t want your followers to see any of the music you listen to, tap Edit on the profile screen, then turn off Listening To.
Note: It may take up to 10 minutes before music you hide is no longer visible to your followers.

Tap Listen Now in the sidebar, then do any of the following:
See what your friends are listening to: Scroll down to Friends Are Listening To. Tap an item to play it.
Listen to a mix of songs your friends are listening to: Scroll down to Made For You, then tap Friends Mix.
See what a follower or person you follow is listening to: Tap or your profile picture, then tap View Profile. Tap a person’s profile picture to see shared playlists and music they’re listening to. You also see their followers and the people they follow.

Tap , tap Share, then choose a sharing option.
