However, Apple Music users are facing a small problem with the ‘Suggest less like this’ option lately.

It seems that the said option is not working properly for some users. Multiple reports indicate that users keep on getting song suggestions similar to those they have flagged via the ‘Suggest less like this’ option.

Also, Apple Music users want the tech giant to introduce a ‘Block/Hide artist’ option because of this problem.

Apple Music currently provides song recommendations based on parameters like songs in users’ library, listening history, and likes/dislikes (‘Love’ and ‘Suggest less like this’ options).

While some users are facing the said issue with the ‘Love’ and ‘Suggest less like this’ options not working properly, others are finding them quite useful.

Another Reddit thread indicates that the said options are working as expected for several users.

Also, a user even pointed out that switching off the ‘Use listening history’ option enhances song recommendations.

However, all this depends on how people use Apple Music as it tailors the user experience according to numerous parameters.
