Here's how you can reclaim those songs you love but mistakenly rejected.

Accidentally give a song a thumbs down while listening on your iPhone? Don't worry. Here's how you can quickly fix it:

If the song has already ended but your session is ongoing, swipe through your played tracks from left to right until you find the one you want.
Once you see the song, tap the orange icon to reverse your action.

Step 5. Once backstage, click the small pencil-shaped "Edit" icon near the play button.
