While Apple Music is quite easy to use, lately, users have reported some minor glitches, bugs, and crashes with an update. Apple is very serious about its experience, so we can expect Apple to soon roll out the update patch for Apple Music. Therefore, until now, we have had some tweaks to resolve the error occurring with your Apple Music. Without further ado, let’s check this out.

Fix: Apple Music is not working on the iPhone or iPad.

We have included the guide that seems to be working for most of the users. Check out the following steps by following the following instructions mentioned down below.

Enable the iCloud Music Library

If you have recently switched to another device and have an Apple Subscription with your account, you simply need to re-sync Apple Music with your account, which will restore your Apple Music and sync all your library, songs, albums, and playlists.

  • Open Device Settings and head over to music.
  • Click on the iCloud Music Library and toggle to enable the option.
  • That’s it. After enabling, it takes a couple of seconds to re-sync.

Update your iPhone or iPad.

The issue might occur with your iOS or iPad. Ensure that you have updated your system’s OS to the latest version. Here is a guide to follow.

  • Open Device Settings, and then head over to General.
  • Next, click on Software Update, and see if you find any updates.
  • Click on Download and Install.
  • That’s it. Restart your device.

Restore your iPhone.

If the above-mentioned method doesn’t help you fix your iPhone, then here is the way to restore it. Follow the quick guide mentioned below.

  • First things first, connect your computer to your iPhone using the respective cable.
  • Then, launch iTunes and head over to the Restore iPhone option.
  • Follow the on-screen wizard instructions and then click on Restore your iPhone or iPad.
  • That’s it. It takes some time, and hopefully, Apple Music will revert to the previous version.

Reset the Network Settings

Apple Music requires a stable and high-speed internet connection to stream music through Apple Music. So, if you have recently tweaked some of the settings, then resetting your network settings can resolve the issue.

  • That’s it.

Restart the iCloud Music Library.

  • Then, toggle on the iCloud Music Library to disable it.
  • Now, revert to settings, and then select music.
  • After that, toggle on “iCloud Music Library” to enable.
  • Now, check out Apple Music.

Check your Apple Music subscription

Not to mention, you need to activate an Apple Music subscription on your iPhone or iPad. Therefore, it is better to check your device and subscribe to their plans. Follow the guide mentioned below.

  • Open iTunes and the Apple Store and head over to Apple ID.
  • Then click on “View Apple ID” and enter your passcode.
