<\/a><\/div>\n\nThe very first thing you need to do is check out your iPhone\u2019s network connection and the authorization of cellular data use upon Apple Music. To check out your iPhone\u2019s network connection, simply open Safari on your iPhone and browse anything you like to see if your network connection is normal or not. To check out the authorization upon cellular data use upon Apple Music, you need to open \u201cSettings > Music > Cellular Data\u201d option to switch it on.<\/p>\n
2. Restart your Apple Music app<\/h3>\n
\nIf your WiFi and cellular network connection are normal, the next thing for you to solve \u201cApple Music not downloading songs to iPhone\u201d is to close and then re-open Apple Music app. Sometimes Apple Music app might get stuck during downloading due to unknown error. A restart would probably help solve this.<\/p>\n
3. Restart your iPhone<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\nThough we don\u2019t know why, but sometimes restarting your iPhone indeed helps. Maybe it will clear the junk files and shut down some of the background apps that cause Apple Music not downloading songs to iPhone error. Restarting ways differ from iPhone models: for iPhone X and later, press and hold the Side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears, switch to turn your device completely off, and then press and hold the Side button again until you see the Apple logo to turn it on; for iPhone 8 or earlier, press and hold the Top (or Side) button until the power off slider appears, switch to turn your device completely off, then after your device turns off, press and hold the Top (or Side) button again until you see the Apple logo.<\/p>\n
4. Sign Out Apple ID and Re-login Again<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\nIf there is a problem in downloading songs to your iPhone within Apple Music, you could try to sign out your Apple ID and then re-login it. This would sometimes work. On your iPhone, open \u201cSettings > Your Name\u201d option and then scroll down to click \u201cSign Out\u201d button (you may need to shut down \u201cFind My iPhone\u201d first). Then, open \u201cSettings\u201d app to sign in your Apple ID again.<\/p>\n
5. Turn off and on Apple Music<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n\n\"Show Apple Music\" is an option to actually see the app on the main page. When you turn off this option, Apple Music is hidden, and you can relaunch the app in this way when Apple Music songs won't download. On iPhone, open \u201cSettings > Music\u201d option to switch off Apple Music, and then switch it on again.<\/p>\n
6. Update Apple Music app<\/h3>\n
\nSometimes you may need to update your Apple Music app to install the latest version to fix the \u201cApple Music not downloading songs to iPhone\u201d error. Open \u201cApp Store\u201d on your iPhone and then check in \u201cUpdate\u201d column to see if there is any update available for your Apple Music. Click the \u201cUpdate\u201d button next to the Apple Music app if an update is available. If not, you are using the latest version of Apple Music. Then you could refer to our other suggestions.<\/p>\n
7. Update iPhone Software<\/h3>\n
\nUpdating your system to the latest iOS version will make it more powerful and smarter, and might help you get Apple Music back to normal. To update iOS software on your iPhone, follow these steps: tap \"Settings\", then \"General\" and choose \"Software Update\". Then choose \"Install Now\" if an iOS update is available.<\/p>\n
8. Check your Apple Music subscription status<\/h3>\n
\nApple Music offers a monthly subscription service, which means you need to pay every month to enjoy or download music from Apple Music. If you cancel your Apple Music subscription after trial or turn-off Apple Music Auto-Renewal function, then you won't be able to access Apple Music songs on any of your device including PC, iPhone, Android, etc.<\/p>\n
9. Free up storage space on iPhone.<\/h3>\n

Therefore you might need to free up storage space on your iPhone to continue downloading songs within Apple Music. Launch \"Settings\" > \"General\" > \"iPhone Storage\", you will find how much space each app eats. If your device is running out of storage space, you should delete some large files to free up space on your iPhone. After that, you can download new music to your device.<\/p>\n
