The Apple Music app suits people who already listen on Apple Music and want to go from a mood or an occasion ("chill songs for a rainy afternoon", "holiday music for a family dinner") to a playlist without building it track by track. You can keep refining the list in the same conversation.
We couldn't find a help page from Apple or OpenAI that covers this app in detail, so this guide sticks to what the directory listing says and how connected apps work in ChatGPT in general.
From the publisher
The Apple Music app helps you find music, create playlists and manage your library through chat. It arrived with the December 2025 app directory launch.
Screenshots
What you need
- A ChatGPT account. Whether the app shows up depends on your ChatGPT plan, region, workspace and the device you use, according to OpenAI.
- Your Apple Music account. Connect it from Settings > Plugins, or when ChatGPT asks the first time you use the app. Read the consent screen: it lists what the app asks to access.
- In a work or school workspace, an admin may have to enable the app first. If it shows Disabled by admin, ask them.
Good to know
- Approvals. ChatGPT may ask before an app reads information or changes something, such as adding to your library. Your app permission setting (for example Always ask or Allow read actions) decides how often it asks.
- What the app can see from ChatGPT. OpenAI says an app you enable can use relevant parts of the conversation and, if Memory is on, your saved memories, plus basic details such as your approximate location. Apple's terms and privacy policy apply to data the app receives.
- Disconnecting stops future access. It doesn't delete earlier chats or memories in ChatGPT.
How to use
- 1Add it in ChatGPT
Open Apple Music in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.
- 2Use it in a chat
Type @ in the composer and pick Apple Music, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.
Things to ask
- “Apple Music, make me a playlist with today's latest hits”
- “Apple Music, show me new music with cool, chill vibes”
- “Apple Music, find music that will get me in the holiday spirit”
Disconnect
- 1Disconnect it in ChatGPT
Open Settings, then Apps or Plugins (the label depends on your rollout), select Apple Music and choose Disconnect. ChatGPT stops acting through your account; past conversations aren't deleted.
Apple Music: common questions
- Can ChatGPT make an Apple Music playlist?
That's the main job of this app. Its directory listing says it builds playlists, finds music and helps manage your library through chat. Describe the mood, genre, era or occasion, then refine the result in the same conversation ("swap the slow songs for something faster").
- Do I need an Apple Music subscription?
Neither Apple nor OpenAI has published the requirements in a help article we could find, so we won't guess. Connect the account you use for Apple Music and read the connection screen, which shows what the app asks to access, and the app's detail page in the Plugins tab, which shows its current description.
- How do I connect or remove Apple Music in ChatGPT?
Open Settings > Plugins, select Apple Music and follow the prompts to connect. Our guide to installing plugins covers each step. To remove it, open Settings > Plugins again, select Apple Music, open the account's ••• menu and choose Disconnect.
