iOS 26 Lets You Create Playlist Folders in Apple Music for the First Time

If your playlist list is an unorganized jungle, iOS 26 is here to help. Apple Music on iPhone now lets you create folders to better organize your playlists, just like on Mac.

As seen in the iOS 26 Developer Beta 1 screenshot, tapping the “+” icon on the top-right now offers a new “New Folder…” option alongside “New Playlist…”.

This foldering feature helps users sort their ever-growing music collections — whether it’s grouping by mood, genre, or custom vibes. Reddit user u/rainbowtash cheered, calling it “a long time coming.”

Others like u/AwesomeChurro mentioned it now finally matches the Mac Music app. While this might seem like a small tweak, for music lovers and heavy playlist users, it’s a total win.

It’s the kind of quiet improvement that makes the whole Music experience feel just that bit more polished — and about time, too.
