It happened to you? Apple Music users report bug

It happened to you? This Wednesday, March 22, Apple Music app users reported that they are having problems with their music libraries. The bug mainly affected playlists.

According to reports shared on social media, the problem is global. However, so far, the bug has been reported on the iPhone version of Apple's streaming service.

But what's going on with Apple Music?

Some users say they are seeing other users' playlists on their accounts, even though the streaming service's music libraries are private. Also, a lot of people commented that some of their playlists simply evaporated from the app.

Reports of users seeing other users' playlists on their accounts, in addition to having their own playlists deleted, surfaced on Reddit and twitter. This raised the suspicion of a possible data leak, however there is no evidence to support this theory.

If it's not a data leak, do we have a motive?

Not yet. The main theory pointed out by the users themselves is a synchronization error between Apple servers. This bug would be mixing playlists from different accounts and deleting lists from the users' library. Or, in some more dramatic cases, simply deleting ALL playlists.

Until now, the apple did not comment on the problem on its official channels, nor on Apple Music. It is important to emphasize that the company is usually quick to solve problems of this type. The company is expected to come forward soon and find a solution for affected users.

If you're not familiar with Apple Music, it's a music streaming service similar to Spotify and Deezer. However, it is only aimed at users of Apple operating systems, although the tool application is also available for Android users.

The app is known for offering high quality audio and Dolby Atmos system.
