Hi,
I have 2 friends I want to share music with.
We're all iPhone users & use Voiceover.
I'm the only one in the group, who still has Apple music.
My one friend cancelled hers today & our other friend has never had it.
I'm seeking a service where we can build playlists & share music.
I downloded Youtube music today & transferred all my playlists from Apple music, only to find out that when you swipe from left to right, as you typically do when navigating with Voiceover, items get deleted.
Has anyone else seen this behavior & know how to put the deleted items back & prevent future deletions?
Thanks in advance.

Same problem
I think it's the app not recording somehow or misinterpreting the gesture. Probably for sighted users swipe right = delete and swipe left = add to playlist, but for us voiceover users the gestures can't work like this. Being Google I don't expect a short-term fix, unfortunately.
This does exist
I had a playlist of my own with almost 8K views destroyed due to this. Submitting feedback.
Alternative suggestion
If you're willing to try an alternative, and your heart is not set on YouTube Music, then might I recommend trying out Spotify for iOS? With their new AI capability, you can use AI to build all kinds of playlists with just your voice. I have a friend who is a VoiceOver user who uses Spotify all the time with this new feature, and she absolutely loves it. She is a playlist junkie, and I cannot even tell you how many playlists she has created with this feature.
Just thought I would share. 😀
