I woke up this morning to find a playlist from my apple music on my iPhone which had 1000+ songs, had been un-downloaded and reduced to 25 songs which were saved from the massacre seemingly at random. I've had my whole day and general mood completely ruined as I rely heavily on portable music for my day to day life.
I use a family subscription with my brother and mother, which was not set to renew for a few days, I only use one apple device and account, no one had access to my playlist following up to the deletion, this deletion was true on a mac I signed into a few hours after finding out, no other playlists were affected though they are much much smaller only around 20 songs each, this includes my favorited songs.
I had only noticed this happened on October seventeenth 2026, at around mid day, shortly after I had woken up and gotten to my gym. It had worked for years, months and days before, but I add songs to the playlist almost daily.
And no I didn't delete it myself, although the "apple help ai" you can call after regular phone hours seemed to insist I may have, the same ai that told me to remember each song and one by one add them back to the playlist. Though I do remember as I initially opened the app my playlist was already opened. I was in conversation with a friend and when I looked at my phone it asked me the "add again/skip" prompt, I selected skip because I assumed I had accidently pressed "add song to playlist" to a song that was already there before, returning to my conversation. A minute later I looked again and found the (now) dreadful twenty five songs.
I have genuinely been distraught all day.
