Where the heck is Genius?

Has it been removed? I cant seem to find a way to activate it anywhere in the Music app?

In the music app, go to more and then edit, see if it's there?

There is no option for Genius for me either. Frankly, I could care less because I don't use it but I wonder if there is a setting somewhere that makes the icon appear.

Genius is still available to me under "More". And there's now a Genius playlist option under playlists (rather than having to start playing a song and THEN hit genius).

I just looked in the more section. It's not there 😕

Well I'm on the iPad ATM and I don't have a more tab. But I also checked my iPhone and it's not there. Could it be that I have to reactivate genius on iTunes first?

iOS can't generate its own genius data. It relies on iTunes to generate it and then sync it over to the device. So if it is disabled on iTunes, it's not being generated and copied over, so no genius on iOS.

Short answer: Yes, I believe you would have to reactivate it in iTunes.

Thats pretty user unfriendly of Apple.

They should have had a tab prompting you to sync to iTunes.
