Here’s how to automatically download songs added to your Apple Music library.

How to Automatically Download Songs Added to Your Apple Music Library

If you often listen to music when you have an internet connection, this tip probably isn’t necessary for you. The only thing I would be aware of when turning on automatic download is how much storage space you have on your iPhone. If there’s plenty of storage on your iPhone, download to your heart’s content.

  • Open the Settings app on iPhone.

  • Tap Music.

  • Scroll down to Downloads. Toggle on Automatic Downloads.
