Why can't I make my Apple Music playlists private?

I tried looking it up and everywhere says to click on Edit, then tick off the box that says "Show on My Profile and in Search" but that option doesn't show up for me on mobile or on desktop. The only options are to change the playlist thumbnail, name, description, and add songs.


Is there some other way to make my playlists private or how can I get this option to show up? Thanks in advance.

iPhone 14 Plus, iOS 16

Had this issue. My solution was that I never set up my music profile. After setting my profile up, the option appeared as the cited instructions stated.
