Help me recover my missing Apple Music playlist. Sync Library status: turned on. Before it disappeared: nothing happened; it just disappeared. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Playlist Apple Music

Since Sync Library is already on and the playlist disappeared unexpectedly, first check whether it still exists in your library on another device or at music.apple.com.

Make sure every device uses the same Apple Account and has Sync Library enabled.
If you use a Mac or Windows PC, check whether the playlist is still in the computer’s Music library and back up that library before making changes.
Avoid turning Sync Library off and on as a first step; it removes downloaded music and may not restore a deleted playlist.

Unfortunately, Apple Music doesn’t offer a simple “Recently Deleted” folder for playlists. If it was actually deleted, restoring it may require a computer-library backup.
