Part 1. What is 'For You' Suggestions

The ‘For You’ function is a great way to discover new music, displaying your ‘New Music Mix’ playlist and anything else you’ve recently been listening to. After downloading the Apple Music app and signing up, you will be taken to the music tailoring process. If this is your first time signing up for Apple Music, you will be asked to click on a series of bubbles representing the genre and artist. From then on, you'll see the For You screen loaded with suggestions for type-specific playlists, albums, guest playlists created by artists, and more. It won't stop you from accessing any music, it only informs music recommendations. I actually think the bubble interface is cool. You can tap the bubble multiple times to indicate your preference strength. The bubble will become larger after each tap, but will be reset after three taps.

Recommendations and songs are affected by the following factors.
1. The music you listen to from the Apple Music catalog.
2. Music you like or dislike.
3. Music you've purchased from the iTunes Store.
4. Music you've added to your My Music library.
5. Music that's in your iTunes library, or on your iOS device.
6. The type and artist selection you made when you first joined Apple Music.

But if you don't like the tracks in the "For You" section at all, then you need to reset Apple Music personal preferences for you. We will show you how to reset Apple Music suggestion on iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows PCs, Macs in Part 2.

Part 3. More Apple Music Tricks You Need to Know

Of course, resetting Apple Music's personal preferences is not the only Apple Music trick you should know. Here are more about Apple music tips you should know to improve the Apple Music experience.

1.Another way to help Apple Music understand your musical taste is to tag songs, albums, and playlists using the "Love" or "Dislike" tags. To do this, click the three dots icon and mark the songs accordingly. Apple Music will learn from your decision and use it to shape future recommendations.

2. An extra that comes with an Apple Music paid subscription is the iCloud Music Library, which allows you to store up to 100,000 tracks in the cloud, separate from regular iCloud storage capacity.

3. The benefit of using Apple Streaming Services on iOS devices is that it works with Siri. Ask her to "play my hip hop playlist" or play 'Biffy Clyro' and consider completing it. You can even ask for more in-depth requests, such as "Play a popular song from 1993" or "Like this" so you can go back to the song you just heard.

4. It's also a good idea to turn off automatic renewal so that when your 90-day free trial ends, you won't be charged automatically.

5. You can also disable automatic artist following, which happens when you add an artist to the library. When you follow an artist, you can see what he/she is doing in the Connect section of Apple Music. If you don't like it, it's best to disable it.
