On iPhone, if you subscribe to Apple Music and someone invites you to collaborate on a playlist, you can join it from the link you received. Then you can add, remove, or reorder music in the collaborative playlist, react to songs with emoji, and invite others with a link.

Note: Apple Music isn’t available in all countries or regions.

On your iPhone, tap the link you received. Tap Join or Request to Join (if the owner of the collaborative playlist must approve you first).
Do any of the following:
- Add a song, change the order of songs, or remove an item
- React to a song with emoji
- Invite others with a link: Tap Share Invite Link.

Note: You can share the link if you own the collaborative playlist, or if its owner hasn’t turned on Approve Collaborators.
