Apple Music Smart Playlists

I installed Apple Music on both my iPhone 6pl and Windows laptop. I found the function “Smart Playlist” with rules on the laptop. When a song matched the rules of a playlist, it’s moved to that playlist (Still no problem). But when I open my phone, I notice that it’s still not in that Smart Playlist. The song matched the rule on Monday (on the laptop), but the same playlist on iPhone said “Updated Sunday”. I want to know if anyone tried the function. Can you tell me how to make it synced corectly, or how frequently Apple update the Smart Playlist. Thanks in advance

If you subscribe to Apple Music, did you turn on "Sync Library" on both your Windows laptop (with iTunes) and on your iPhone?

Turn on Sync Library with Apple Music - Apple Support

If you don't subscribe, then I believe you will need to manually sync your iTunes library to your iPhone:

Hi,

I have already subscribed to Apple Music, so I tried the step above using “Sync Library”. However, it doesn’t seems to work. Luckily, I discovered the “Update Apple Music Library” on iTunes Windows, which make the Smart Playlists synced on my phone whenever I clicked that button. Anyways, thanks for helping me out.
