Not for me. Although it deletes the playlist, it keeps the songs in my library.
Got a tip for us?

In what scenarios does NumberSync actually make sense? The only one i can find is if your phone is lost or stolen or the battery runs out.
You could always make phone calls as long as you were on the same wifi network. I cant really think of a situation other than the ones listed above where I would have my iPad or iPad pro nearby but not my iPhone.

I expect this is because whenever you put your phone into airplane mode, it also puts the Apple Watch in Airplane mode, no?
This isn’t happening for me? This has annoyed me for so long and I was so excited to get this feature, however when adding a new song to a large playlist I still have to scroll all the way to the bottom to listen to it. Does anyone know how to “activate” this feature?
Have you been able to actually see this functionality? I've got a playlist that is set to be "downloaded to this iPhone", then when I add a song to it that isn't stored locally, it doesn't downloaded it automatically.
Another example is a smart playlist that has all my music in it, so that I can download that playlist and thus store my entire music library offline, but when I add a new song to my music (and therefore the smart playlist), it doesn't get automatically downloaded.
Finally got it to work, in a roundabout sorta way. Not sure if this method did the trick or it just took a little time for it to happen. I tried several times with just the phone and watch, it wasn't until i tried setting up my iPad for wifi calling that the watch started to work as well.
Here are the steps:
-ran OS updates
-updated carrier settings
-turned on wifi calling device for iPad on phone
-under FaceTime settings on iPad 'upgraded' to NumberSync (took a few tries, didn't do anything when tapping the first few times).
-received prompt to enter code sent to phone to activate
-entered code and received confirmation saying that it would be available in a few minutes
-10-15 minutes later received confirmation NumberSync was now active.
At this point I tried putting phone into AirPlay mode and calling from watch, which was a no go. Tried iPad, no go.
-turned off airplane mode on phone
I then tried on the iPad selecting a phone number from a Contacts. Success on iPad, call went thru "using iPhone".
-put phone back into airplane mode
Then tried calling from watch, first two attempts "Call Failed". On the third attempt, it finally worked.
Not sure if setting up the iPad, which required a convoluted 'upgrade' procedure with AT&T for NumberSync, with a texted code to activate, kicked started the process for the watch, or if it just started working after a while on its own.
Like all antiquated phone service stuff, seems like a very convoluted procedure for something that basically FaceTime just does. I don't quite understand the 'upgrade' language, there didn't seem to be any new contract terms or any charges to authorize. Usually when AT&T uses the word 'upgrade' regarding a feature, I get an accute pain on my left upper thigh, right in the pocket/wallet area. So I'll have to check my account later to see if I'm getting charged for the privaledge of using my own bandwidth to handle their infastructure.
Yes. I haven't heard anyone else mention it but it's been doing it for me since at least 9.2 beta 4. I just tested again and it works.
Must the Mac have a wifi card pr can it be connected straight to the router for wifi calling? I have a 2008 Mac Pro no wifi card.
same issue here while I have wifi calling enabled on my iPhone 6Plus when try to enable it on my iPad Pro it tells me it cannot be activated on my account to contact carrier so I contact AT&T and they are at a loss....
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, good to see you have it working. The features for wifi calling and Numbersync are free. You will see them as features on your account if not already, soon.
But do midi controllers and interfaces work on iPhone with that adapter now like they did on iPad?
The phone setting for this is in Calls on other devices, just below the wifi calling setting. Activate the Numbersync feature on the phone first, then setup the iPad. Wifi calling will be needed for this, you have that part active but the next step is Numbersync.
I am still fed up that Apple have not addressed the issue with Health app and data not working on some iOS devices.
This has been going on for several builds and there are heaps of comments and complaints in the forums.
The only solution apple give is to give up your back up. Wipe your phone and start afresh. This simply is not good enough.

Two adapters. Six iOS devices. Eight SD Cards. One error message.
Yeah. I was hopeful too but of course it still doesn't work. But at least now that it's "Officially Supported" then maybe the genius bar won't be so quick to excuse their way out of a solution.
This has already worked for some time (as long as the MIDI device doesnt require much power). I've used a very low power MIDI keyboard since iPhone 6 came out.
