How to Download All Songs in Apple Music on an iPhone

- Open the Music app and go to “Library”.
- You will see “Songs”, “Albums” and “Playlists” as available options. The “Songs” menu will take you to individual tracks where you can download them one at a time, so choose “Albums” or “Playlists”.
- When you find the album or playlist you want to download, you can download it in two ways:
- The first option is to long-press on the album or playlist title and choose “Download” from the menu that appears.
- Alternatively, you can open the album or playlist you want. You’ll find the iCloud symbol, which you can tap to download all the songs in the album or playlist, right next to the three-dot icon.
- The first option is to long-press on the album or playlist title and choose “Download” from the menu that appears.

To add to the frustration, you may be having issues with your data connection, and depending on how much music you want to download, your iPhone could run out of battery.
