HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you want to understand why this is the way it is today, you need to look further back. Think iTunes, in the iPod era, it used to be integrated with your IM status, it would show what you were playing… which was great, esp, at work. People could also, share their collections over the LAN.
Gotta love the Zelda music
iTunes Ping!
I wonder how much apple pays cnet for this small but huge advertisement video talks?! nearly every streaming music company has this so called listen others playlists, but because it is apple we swore under oath that we should make a huge deal on every small garbage that apple does! and to your question, NO… I’m not a Android fanboy
Yeah, this is not a new feature🙃😕
Been using this feature lately so glad awareness is increasing. Also — can’t find your @ when I search — do you have it set to private?
Sadly I don’t use Apple Music’s services, I use the other one that starts with an S and rhymes with Multiply. BridgetsWidgets is an amazing username and as cool as LynyrdSkynrd!
This is why I prefer Spotify… I used to use Apple Music.

This lady personality hooks me… ❤
Love u Bridget! Hahaha Ill follow just for the Zelda songs
Just here to say I’m shocked you only just discovered this. My friends and I have been using this feature for years!
Apple doesn’t want to get labelled as social media because it always has focused on privacy, but it has so much built in social media features natively to its ios. It would be interesting if they incorporated shared photo albums with the music profile.
Legit don’t know how to find you on the app. Why so complicated Apple.
I was an early iTunes user, back in the Facebook/Twitter days. I accumulated a huge offline stash.
Apple never promoted it and it didn’t work as advertised.
One more thing again 😅
Spotify Gang
You widgets now 😅 😂🎉
Apple Music quality is unbeatable, however Spotify has a better algorithm for recommendations and also allows me to dislike an artist. Now just wish I could dislike playlists which Apple try and force me to listen to every time I open the app…
Wow
iTunes Ping was good you could follow artists you like and send them a short message. Apple Music Connect gave artists a little freedom to post music videos etc.
Bridget you have to be in our contacts for us to follow you😢
