- Long press or 3D Touch on the song.
- Choose Add to Playlist -> New Playlist.
- Tap to give your playlist a name, a description, and a cover image if you want.
- Tap Add Music, and then use the search field to find songs in your library or in the Apple Music catalog, or browse through songs in your collection below.
- When you find a song that you want to include, tap the plus (+) button next to it. Note that you can do this for multiple songs.
- Tap Done when you're finished adding songs.
Create a Playlist on Your Computer
- Open iTunes on your computer and find a song that you want to start a playlist with.
