Part 1. Apple Music Playlists Gone. Why?

Why did my playlists disappeared on Apple Music? Most of the time, when Apple Music deletes your library, there might be something wrong with iCloud Music Library. This is a feature that allows you to sync and share all the streaming music tracks from Apple Music and iTunes between all devices. Specifically, once you enabled iCloud Music Library, Apple will scan your music and replace the songs with its own versions. And then it will upload anything it doesn't know to its servers. In this case, to restore disappeared Apple Music playlists on iOS, the common way is to re-enable your iCloud Music Library, so as to re-sync the lost songs from Apple Music with iTunes on a Mac or PC.

Another case is that your Apple Music subscription is expired, so all your playlists on Apple Music will be gone. You can check your subscription.

Sometimes if your Apple Music playlists are not showing after the iOS 15 update, it might be because your iTunes account has synced across the devices or your Show Apple Music option is off autocratically. To get them back, you can try to update iCloud Music Library by iTunes or simply open the Show Apple Music feature.
