Select your favorite genres and artists

When you first tap Listen Now, you’re asked to tell Apple Music about your preferences. Apple Music uses these preferences when recommending music.

Tap the genres you like (double-tap those you love, and touch and hold the genres you don’t care for).
Tap Next, then do the same with the artists that appear.

To add a specific artist who isn’t listed, tap Add an Artist, then enter the artist’s name.

You can also touch and hold a playlist or album, then tap Play.

Go to an artist page, then tap next to the artist’s name.

The Music app plays songs from the artist’s entire catalog, mixing hits and deep cuts.

Do any of the following:

Touch and hold an album, playlist, or song, then tap Love or Suggest Less Like This.
On the Now Playing screen, tap , then tap Love or Suggest Less Like This.

Telling Apple Music what you love and dislike improves future recommendations.

Go to Settings > Music.
Turn on Show Star Ratings.
In Music, touch and hold a song in your library, tap Rate Song, then choose a rating from one to five stars.

Song ratings sync to all devices that use the same Apple ID.

This option appears only if you already have star ratings from a synced library on your device.

If you don’t want your followers on Apple Music to see any of the music you play, follow these steps.

Turning off your listening history impacts new music recommendations and the contents of Replay playlists.
