If I remember, Apple changed the way playlists work. When it first released, a saved playlist added all the tracks to your music library. Now it only saves the playlist to the playlist area.
Ah ok, so it's by design. Thanks.
I can go into the playlist and click the '+' next to specific songs, and when I do that, the specific song shows under 'artists' or 'songs' but seemingly, adding the playlist does not do that. Even though it has added to my library, and has downloaded it to the device.

"Add Playlist Songs To My Music" is not the same as downloading them. To download you must click the cloud icon in a playlist, album, or song, after it has been added to My Music.
Once downloaded, there is a phone icon next to the track time:

All of this is in iOS 9.3.3. If there are significant changes to AM in iOS 10, and this doesn't help you, you should ask in that forum.
Thanks.
To confuse things, I've just started using AM since changing to iOS10 Beta, so I wasn't familiar with the interface before.
Here's what I see, from adding a playlist to my library, through to browsing for it:
Playlist added (as you can see it then downloads the tracks)
Browsing in my library, under 'Playlists' - the playlist appears
But when I browse under 'Artists' - Foals do not appear. So if I shuffle all on my songs, these songs would never play. So the only way I can play these tracks is by adding them to my library again, via the Album/Artist rather than via a Playlist
Interestingly if you go into the playlist, you then get a '+' icon next to each song, which seems a bit counter intuitive considering they're already added in my library (in a way...)
When you use that '+' icon, it will add the individual track into your library properly, with the song appearing in the songs/artists/albums menu. So it's almost like the playlists section is a kind of purgatory!
