- Tap the three dots at the top right.
- Select "Collaborative playlist" (it's the second option from the top).
- If collaborators need approval, enable that option.
- Tap "Start Collaboration" to invite your friends to contribute.
- You can manage collaborations by going back to the playlist, selecting the three dots, and choosing "Manage Collaboration."
RCS Support in Apple Messages
In other news, Apple is making a major change in how iPhones handle messaging. The company is adopting the Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging standard for its latest iPhone 15 series. This move is noteworthy, similar to when iPhones shifted to USB charging.
