After you create a playlist on Apple Music, you may want to share it – and you can do so through AirDrop, Messages, social media, and more.

To share a playlist, tap the three dots at the top of the page to open a pop-up menu. From there, you can choose the “Share Playlist…” option. This will bring you to a new page where you can opt to share it via any number of apps, including your messages, email, and social media. You can also share it directly through AirDrop with any nearby Apple devices.
