Playcount not working with 17.1.1

Ever since I updated my IPhone to 17.1.1, the playcount no longer tracks the number of plays.

Still works on my IPad which is still on 16.1.2 and on my computer when I play songs directly. Please help.

iPhone X, iOS 15

play count not updating Ever since I updated my iPhone 15 in late November, my play counts on my Mac have not updated. I have tried everything I could find online but they still won't update.

New iPhone 15 Pro will not update Play Count in Apple Music I recently upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro and now my Play Counts have stopped syncing between my devices. When I listen to a song on my iPhone, it does not show up as played on my MacBook Pro. I see that other users are also reporting this issue since installing IOS 17 which clearly has a bug. This is frustrating as I use smart playlist that reference the "Last Played" as well as "Play Count" information which is not syncing anymore. I have also spent more than 3 hours chatting with Apple Support who has not been able to resolve this issue yet. I am hoping by reporting this, it will help prioritize a fix for this issue in one of the next release updates.

Play count not updating again This past 6 days, the playcounts on my Mac library haven't been updating with music played on my phone. I've tried everything - synced devices. Unsynced and re-synced. Updated all my settings and all updated. Unauthorised and authorised my device. Updated itunes library. Connected my phone with cable to my Mac and synced up. The recently played also doesn't update - it's soooo frustrating - please help!

I have the same problem. I can see the music titles under 'Recently played' on either my iPhone or my iMac but these don't synchronize anymore and playcounts are not updated. If I add new music, there is no problem, gets synchronized across the devices.
