Create an Apple Music profile on Mac
After you subscribe to Apple Music, you can create an Apple Music profile that features your favorite playlists and what you’re currently listening to. You can share your profile with friends you invite or with other Apple Music subscribers.
After you create a profile, you can choose the playlists you want to share. Additionally, you can view profiles created by friends or request to follow them and see what they’re listening to.
Note: Apple Music isn’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
