**iOS 26 Introduces One Of The Best Apple Music Features From Mac To iPhone**
For years, Apple Music has provided the capability to create folders within its app on Mac. This has undoubtedly been one of the simplest methods to arrange music and playlists in Apple Music. However, this feature was never accessible on iPhone. Fortunately, with the launch of iOS 26, Apple has addressed this issue, allowing users to create folders in Apple Music on iPhone.
There’s no clear reason why it has taken Apple so long to implement folder creation in Apple Music on iPhone, but the introduction of this feature indicates that the company is attentive to user feedback, despite some differing views on Liquid Glass overall.
So, if you’ve found it challenging to keep your Apple Music playlists organized on your phone and don’t have a Mac, you can now manage your music library with a few straightforward steps, which we will detail below.
**How to create folders on Apple Music**
To set up a new playlist folder in Apple Music, open the app on your iPhone. Ensure that iOS 26 is already installed. If you haven’t updated yet, please do so before proceeding. When you’re ready to create a folder, tap the **Library** option, then select **Playlists**. Next, tap the **+** sign located at the top right of the application. This will present you with two choices: **New Playlist** and **New Folder**.
Select **New Folder** and name it as you wish. If you ever need to change the name of a folder, simply tap the three dots at the top right of the folder and then choose **Rename**. After you’ve created your folder in Apple Music, it’s time to start populating it. You can add playlists by locating the playlist you wish to add and then pressing and holding it. When the options menu appears, choose **Move to** and then select the folder you want to place it in. You can still create folders in Apple Music on Mac as well, and they will sync across all your devices.
Additionally, iOS 26 has introduced a variety of other features to Apple Music on iPhone beyond just folders, such as music pinning, so be sure to explore those as well. These are just a few ways that iOS 26 enhances the functionality of Apple’s mobile operating system.
