Delete a single song from a playlist

I would like to delete a song from my playlist that I do not want (that was added while searching for a song). I would like this option without having to clear the whole list in my Apple Music playlist. I have an iPhone 16 pro max

Hi Pnkdolfin,


You can delete a single song from a playlist without clearing the whole list. On your iPhone:


  1. Open the Music app and go to your playlist.
  2. Find the song you want to remove.
  3. Tap the three dots (…) next to the song.
  4. Select Remove from Playlist.


That will delete just that one song and keep the rest of your playlist.
